20 THE COURIER SUN • JANUARY 29, 2015 FOR BREAKING NEWS VISIt www.couriersun.com 17 CITY-OWNED SITES IN JAMAICA IDENTIFIED FOR NEW AFFORDABLE HOUSING BY LIAM LA GUERRE lguerre@queenscourier.com @liamlaguerre In the de Blasio administration’s latest effort to make a dent in the city’s housing crisis, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development is calling on developers to build housing on about 175 sites across the city. The agency released a list of vacant, cityowned properties for the construction of affordable housing across the five boroughs last week, including 17 sites in Jamaica, which are the only Queens locations. The agency is collecting applications from developers until Feb. 19 for the program. The city is even offering financing through its Neighborhood Construction and New Infill Homeownership Opportunities programs, but it comes with the requirement that at least one of every three units must be affordable, costing up to 80 percent of Area Median Income. That’s no more than $67,120 in annual income for a family of four. This effort seems to be part of Mayor de Blasio’s plan to create and preserve 200,000 units of affordable housing over 10 years. The single largest lot in the program is at 108-59 Union Hall St., which has 8,830 square feet. But if combined with adjoining vacant lots at 108-41, 43, 49 and 51, there is about 20,800 square feet of space.
