Our purpose is to enable performing artists to maximize their artistry and to enlist cultural facilities in realizing this goal while broadening community exposure to the performing arts. As performing/multidisciplinary artists have been priced out of Manhattan and, increasingly, Brooklyn, the geographically and demographically diverse borough of Queens appears to have growing concentrations of these artists and groups.

  • 2016 Community Health Needs Assessment
    2016 COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Community Health Needs Assessment, 2016 Update Purpose of the Community Health Needs Assessment This 2016 Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) updates the CHNA completed in 2013 to meet the requirements of Section 9007 of the 2010 federal law, The Affordable Care Act (“ACA”). The ACA requires that any tax-exempt, IRS- designated 501(c) (3) hospital complete or update a publicly-available, comprehensive CHNA every three years in order to document the extent to which it understands the unique characteristics and needs of the local communities it serves, and responds to these needs by delivering meaningful and effective community benefit through clinical services and other programming. Required Components A CHNA report has five required components: 1) Definition of community served 2) A prioritized description of the significant health needs of the community 3) Transparency in the process and methods used to conduct the CHNA, including how it took into account input from the community served and prioritized community health needs 4) A description of the resources potentially available to address the identified significant prioritized community health needs 5) An evaluation of the impact of actions taken to address the significant health needs identified in the previous CHNA report (June 2013). A CHNA report is considered complete when it is adopted by a governing body of the facility and made widely available to the public. Community Served NYC Health + Hospitals serve all New Yorkers in every neighborhood in New York City regardless of their ability to pay. Addressing disparity throughout New York City, NYC Health + Hospitals is the safety-net for the uninsured and underserved in New York City.

    The Crossing At Jamaica Station JAMAICA | QUEENS JAMAICA | QUEENS JAMAICA | QUEENS C JAMAICA | QUEENS JAMAICA | QUEENS JAMAICA | QUEENS DEVELOPER: LEASING AGENT: C The Crossing At Jamaica Station ARTICLE Jamaica’s rich pickings drawing builders on hunt for cheap land By Holly Dutton, Deals & Dealmakers Publication (Real Estate Weekly) April 29, 2015 In a city where location and access to transit is king, one neighborhood in Queens is looking to capitalize on its excess of trains, and its proximity to JFK Airport. Jamaica is served by the E,J, Z, and F trains, as well as the Long Island Railroad (LIRR) and the AirTrain, and is just five miles from JFK Airport. Mayor Bill de Blasio’s administration recently unveiled the Jamaica Now Action Plan, a 21-point plan to help revitalize the area. Many of the items on the plan are slated to be completed within three years, while some had already been announced, like the EDC’s plan to redevelop the 168th Street NYPD garage into a mixed-income complex that will include housing units, retail and a community center. Also in the plan is the development of one to four-family houses, condos, co-ops, and smaller affordable rental buildings at 11 sites in the South Jamaica area. Streetscape improvements along Jamaica Avenue, an entrepreneurship program to help train locals at starting new businesses, more NYPD cameras in high-traffic areas, an arts alliance and public art projects are all part of the plan as well. The city will also be giving new incentives to owners of aging and vacant properties near the Air Train/LIRR station, in an attempt to add additional housing and retail.

  • Strategic Policy Statement 2018 Melinda Katz
    THE OFFICE OF THE QUEENS BOROUGH PRESIDENT Strategic Policy Statement 2018 Melinda Katz Queens Borough President The Borough of Queens is home to more than 2.3 million residents, representing more than 190 countries and speaking more than 200 languages.1 The seamless knit that ties these distinct cultures and transforms them into shared communities is what defines the character of Queens. The Borough’s diverse population continues to steadily grow. Foreign-born residents now represent 48% of the Borough’s population.2 Traditional immigrant gateways like Sunnyside, Woodside, Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Corona, and Flushing are now communities with the highest population of residents born outside the United States in the entire city.3 Immigrant and Intercultural Services The immigrant population remains largely underserved. Residents with limited English proficiency now represent 28.9% of the Borough,4 indicating a need for a wide and growing range of social service support and language access to City services. All services should be available in multiple languages, and outreach should be improved so that culturally sensitive programming can be made available. The Office of the Queens Borough President actively works with the Queens General Assembly and the Immigration Task Force, two working groups organized by the Office of the Queens Borough President, to address many of the issues that the immigrant community faces. As an extension of this work, the Office of the Queens Borough President launched “Know Your Rights Week,” a series of weeks dedicated to providing free legal assistance and consultation. The first “Know Your Rights Week” series focused on immigration legal services.
