    NEWS RELEASE Henry Street Settlement Responds to the COVID-19 Outbreak March 19, 2020 Contact: Barbara Kancelbaum, 718-744-5310 New York, N.Y. -- Henry Street Settlement is safely providing essential services to our neighbors on the Lower East Side and throughout New York City to help everyone remain healthy and access the resources they need to get through the COVID-19 outbreak. Because this crisis poses a particular threat to the many low-income New Yorkers whom Henry Street serves, the Settlement is actively providing food, connections to needed benefits, crucial information to stay safe, and emotional support. Details follow below. Henry Street’s core services never close. Our four transitional housing residences, two supportive housing buildings, Senior Center, Meals on Wheels, and the Community Consultation Center are continuing to provide essential services to our residents and participants, particularly those who are high risk. We have suspended services that bring large groups of people together and moved others online, from ESOL classes to instrumental music lessons. “Henry Street Settlement has been opening doors, listening to the needs of our community, and responding promptly and effectively for 127 years,” said David Garza, president and CEO. “From the outset of the COVID-19 outbreak, we have been focusing on the health and safety of the community we serve, the protection and support of the team at Henry Street, and the continuity of our services and operations. Because of our long-standing role in caring for the most vulnerable New Yorkers, we now find ourselves at the epicenter of providing vital services, safety, and stability to our residents, clients, and participants at this critical time.

    NORCs IN NEW YORK Tobias armborsT, GeorGeen Theodore, and daniel d’oCa of inTerboro ParTners Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/thld_a_00145 by guest on 23 September 2021 INTERBORO PARTNERS NORC is a funny word, but we didn’t make it up. On the contrary, the word is recognized by the local, state, and federal government, and has been in use since 1986. Actually, NORC is an acronym. It stands for “Naturally Occurring Retirement Community.” Basically, a NORC is a place (a building, a development, a neighborhood) with a significant elderly population that wasn’t purpose-built as a senior community. What counts as a “significant elderly population” varies from place to place (and from one level of government to the next), but that’s the basic definition. NORCs are important because once a community meets the criteria, it becomes eligible for local, state, and federal funds to retroactively provide that community with the support services elderly populations need (for example, case management and social work services, health care management and prevention programs, education, socialization, and recreational activities, and volunteer opportunities for program participants and the community). As it happens, there are 27 NORCs in New York City, located in four boroughs. NORCs are a national—even international— phenomenon, but the NORC movement began right here in New York City, when a consortium of UJA-Federation agencies THRESHOLDS 40 established the Penn South Program for Seniors in 1986. Let us say a few words about why we’re so interested in NORCs: First of all, the “naturally occurring” part is intriguing.

  • Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy A. INTRODUCTION B
    Chapter 2, Section A: Land Use, Zoning, and Public Policy A. INTRODUCTION The project site is located in the Borough of Manhattan and includes the median malls on Allen Street between Delancey Street and East Broadway and on Pike Street between East Broadway and South Streets (sees Figure 2A-1). The Proposed Project would reconstruct the median mall sections to provide public green space, recreational space, and amenities, would improve the overall visual character of Allen and Pike Streets between Delancey and South Streets, and would serve as a gateway to the East River Esplanade from interior blocks. This section considers existing land use, zoning, and public land use policies for the project site and the surrounding 400-foot study area. Land use issues associated with the Proposed Project include potential changes in local land uses and neighborhood land use patterns. Zoning and public policy issues include the compatibility of the proposed modifications to the median malls with existing zoning and public policies. PRINCIPAL CONCLUSIONS As described below, this analysis concludes that the Proposed Project would be in keeping with and supportive of existing land uses in the study area, and that it would be consistent with zoning and public policy for the area. Overall, the Proposed Project would not result in any significant adverse impacts to land use, zoning or public policy. B. EXISTING CONDITIONS LAND USE PROJECT SITE The project site includes the Allen and Pike Street malls and the adjacent travel lanes. The Allen Street malls are located between Delancey Street and East Broadway. The Pike Street malls are located between East Broadway and South Street.

  • 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 .......................................................................................................................
