Now Open: 200 Montague Street Affordable Housing Lottery

NYC Housing Connect is holding an affordable housing lottery for 38 of the  121 units at the newly opening 200 Montague Street.  These units are reserved for residents at 80 to 130 percent of the area median income.  The building boasts many amenities including bike storage lockers, a shared laundry room, gym with a yoga and dance studio, children’s playroom, green space, and a rooftop terrace.

The lottery is open until April 3rd.  More details are available here.
 
A Problematic 5G Tower Process

What's looming on the far right side of this picture? It's a rendering of one of the new 32 feet tall 5G towers the city plans to place in neighborhoods across the city. 

In January the BHA sent a letter to the city objecting to, among other things, the city's failure to adhere to it's own requirement to “engage community leaders before installation to ensure that they are aware of the proposal, including the design of the poles and provisioning of service, and are given an opportunity to provide feedback.” 

Several other organizations, including the Historic Districts Council and the NY Landmarks Conservancy, which called the review process "chaotic and opaque" have also raised objections. 

We'll keep you informed as the process unfolds.  
 
Volunteer Opportunities for Youth

Now more than ever, we need to teach our children the power of giving back. The Service Collective makes it easy to find those opportunities by organizing an incredible number of activities  including a Valentine's Day Blood Donation Drive (16+), art kits for the Brownsville Child Development Center and filling the fridge at St. Ann's Church.  We are thrilled to have this new organization in our community and encourage your family to get involved!
