Envisioning Development with the Housing Conservation Coordinators |
Lucas Shapiro of Housing Conservation Coordinators and West Side Neighborhood Alliance used the Affordable Housing Toolkit to lead an interactive workshop at their new space in Manhattan on Thursday. They discussed existing affordable housing on the West Side, and used the toolkit to explore what types of new housing the community should be fighting for in the area. A fun time was had by all!

Envisioning Development on the West Side! |
Our buddies at Housing Conservation Coordinators and the West Side Neighborhood Alliance are using the Affordable Housing Toolkit for a community workshop tonight! I’ll post in their announcement below:
When is housing really “affordable”? Interactive workshop on April 8th!
Join Housing Conservation Coordinators and West Side Neighborhood Alliance on April 8th to learn everything you always wanted to know about affordable housing, but were afraid to ask!
This workshop seeks to answer questions, such as:
+ How does the city and federal government define “affordable”?
+ What programs produce “affordable” and “subsidized” housing?
+What is New York City’s “Median Family Income”, why is it important and how does it compare to income levels where we live and work?
+What kinds of affordable housing already exist on the West Side and what types of new housing should we be fighting for?
What: What is Affordable Housing? Interactive workshop
When: Thursday, April 8th, from 6:30-8:30pm
Where: Our new space: 500 West 52nd St., #2E (off 10th Ave)
