In this PDF version the links should be “clickable” allowing you to access the referenced websites just by clicking the underlined links; otherwise, you may manually copy and paste (or type) the URL (web address) into your SEARCH/browser's address bar to access a particular site. There are phone numbers provided for most of the various residences or sponsors or managers. For the best use of the linked websites we recommend that you consider downloading this PDF guide onto your desktop and opening the file. Instructions for downloading our PDF file to your computer will vary from browser to browser and from Mac to PC so you may need to use a search engine for instructions using your particular system. Be patient, the PDF file is over 10 MB and may take a few minutes to download depending upon your connection. To recommend the guide to your friends, here is the direct link on the HAFOP website where the guide may be downloaded at https://www.hafop.org under “resources”. Information gathered in this Resource Guide has been garnered from many remarkable individuals and organizations as well as city, state and federal government departments. Most was found on the web, by mail and telephone. It is the hope of HEALTH ADVOCATES FOR OLDER PEOPLE that you will find this guide a helpful resource. Our first goal is to provide a tool for all to use when an older adult may find it preferable or necessary to consider moving into a home with services for the aging. [While doing this research it was encouraging to discover so many resources available to help seniors remain more safely in their own homes.] Compiled by Health Advocates for Older People 2 New York, NY, 212.980.1700 www.hafop.org Housing Opportunities for Older People in New York, New York, (Manhattan) Because it may be preferable for one to move into or find services in nearby neighborhoods, this guide is organized by zip code. Various descriptions of housing types can be confusing to say the least. In order to help with the definitions here, you will find descriptions from City, State, Federal and other resources. Available housing runs the gamut from private for- profit to non-profit market rate for affordable housing, assisted living housing and nursing homes. Many of these have been built with the help of different government and non-profit agencies. Some rents are lowered with the help of non- profits or governmental agencies when financial assistance is needed. When applying for an apartment or space in a residence, one needs to understand that the process is often long and complicated. A lot of detailed paperwork must be filled out. We include some helpful suggestions. Many members of the HAFOP Advisory Board and other supporters have participated in the research needed to help update the information found in this resource guide. We are so grateful for their help. We wish you good luck in your search for a new home or assistance while remaining in your current home!

    TESTIMONY FROM NYCHA CHAIRMAN JOHN B. RHEA NE W YOR K CITY HOUS ING AUTHORITY REAL PROPERTY USE AS S E MB LY COMMITTE E ON HOUS ING FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 2013 – 11:00AM Chairman Keith Wright, distinguished members of the Committee, and to all the members of the State Assembly, I am John B. Rhea, Chairman of the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA). Joining me this morning is Fred Harris, Executive Vice President for Real Estate Development. Thank you for the opportunity to discuss with you our plan to develop new mixed-income housing on NYCHA land. I will describe the challenges that necessitate action on this front; our unique opportunity to reinvest in public housing; and our ongoing engagement of residents, elected officials, and other important stakeholders. Most importantly, I will explain how the plan will benefit NYCHA residents and communities across the City. The Need As we have shared with the members of this committee – as well as other state and local elected officials, advocacy groups, concerned non-profits, and the nearly 630,000 New Yorkers we serve – NYCHA faces serious challenges, including an aging housing stock and a waiting list that only grows longer as more striving families come to our City in search of opportunity and affordable housing. As Mayor Bloomberg announced yesterday, the City’s population has increased by over 160,000 people since 2010, and NYCHA can be sure that many of these newcomers will look to us as a vital resource to help start their lives here. In addition, we’ve seen a dramatic change in the assistance we receive from our partners in government, including the total elimination of state funding and a steady and precipitous decline in funding from the federal government, our principal source of capital and operating dollars.

  • Community Involvement in Redevelopment After the Expiration of Urban Renewal Plans
    Renewing Renewal: Community Involvement in Redevelopment After the Expiration of Urban Renewal Plans A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Architecture, Planning and Preservation COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Urban Planning by Caroline Thompson May 2020 Abstract Communities impacted by urban renewal in the mid-twentieth century were largely unable to stop the changes brought to their neighborhoods. The plans that operationalized urban renewal remained in place for over 40 years, with significant legislative, legal, and financial effort required to make any alterations. In New York City, many of the urban renewal areas and their governing plans have since expired, ushering in market-driven development and neighborhood changes. This thesis uses a mixed-methods approach to analyze the subsequent built environment changes and to explore community involvement through case studies of redevelopment in the former Seward Park Extension Urban Renewal Area (SPEURA) and Two Bridges Urban Renewal Area (TBURA). While many lots remain unchanged since the urban renewal era, those that have changed reflect local development preferences or the results of major rezonings. The case studies reveal the wide variety of methods of community involvement in site redevelopment, with implications for future participation in redevelopment in the city. Key words: urban renewal, participation, Two Bridges, Essex Crossing, Large-Scale Developments ii Table of Contents List of Figures .......................................................................................................................

  • The Making of the Orderly City: New York Since the 1980S
    JUHXXX10.1177/0096144217705459Journal of Urban HistoryChronopoulos 705459research-article2017 Article Journal of Urban History 1 –32 The Making of the Orderly City: © The Author(s) 2017 Reprints and permissions: New York since the 1980s sagepub.com/journalsPermissions.nav https://doi.org/10.1177/0096144217705459DOI: 10.1177/0096144217705459 journals.sagepub.com/home/juh Themis Chronopoulos1 Abstract This article advances the concept of the orderly city, which has structural qualities and as a vision has dominated ideas about law and order in New York since the 1980s. The realization of the orderly city depended on the successful implementation of broken windows policing. This implementation required considerable reforms in the criminal justice system and the provision of substantial financial resources. Even then, without a considerable decline in serious crime rates, the city government would be unable to justify a war against minor infractions. The crime decline that occurred in the 1990s allowed the city government to equate the safe city with the orderly city. Moreover, as the economy of New York improved, the orderly city was promoted as a precondition of affluence. This article shows how these correlations are questionable and how the orderly city is based on morally and legally questionable actions such as racial profiling. Keywords orderly city, broken windows, quality-of-life, stop-and-frisk, police, New York In 2001, Steven Malanga of the conservative Manhattan Institute wrote an op-ed for the New York Post in which he linked New York City’s improved economic fortunes with the elimination of crime and disorder. Malanga’s claim represents a standard narrative shared by the mass media, the business sector, and many public policy makers around the world.
