Council Member Calls for Affordable Housing at SiteQueens Post

A proposed temporary housing facility in Flushing is again facing questions this week after a Queens councilmember asked the city about alternative housing options at the site. City Councilmember Sandra Ung, who represents Flushing, Murray Hill, Queensboro Hill and Fresh Meadows, wrote a letter to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development on Monday, asking about programs and other funding options to support the building of affordable housing at 39-03 College Point Blvd. “I am reaching out to your agency to request information on what type of affordable housing programs and financing options could be utilized at this particular site to realize a viable affordable housing project instead of a transitional housing facility,” Ung wrote in the letter.
