While the Downtown Far Rockaway Rezoning would result in new development and demand for public schools, as demonstrated in the FEIS there is capacity in Sub-district 1 of CSD 27 to accommodate existing students as well as new enrollment projected to result from the rezoning. However, the City recognizes the Council Member's concerns about public school capacity, specifically elementary schools. We anticipate that the rezoning will increase the population of the neighborhood over time, and SCA and DOE will continue to monitor school enrollment and capacity in the future as development occurs and will address capacity issues as they arise. To this end, the City will reserve a site in the urban renewal area for a period of 10 years in order to be able to accommodate a new elementary school, to be utilized if SCA and DOE determines a need for one during that 10 year period.

In East New York, MIH is only the floor not the ceiling. When developers come to HPD for financing, HPD will only finance buildings that are 100% affordable, and at levels that target low and extremely low incomes. Within these 100% affordable buildings, HPD is committing that at least 40% of all units will be reserved for households earning less than 50% of AMI (currently, as little as $23,350 to $38,850 for a three-person family). The remainder of the units in each building would primarily be affordable to households making 60% of AMI (currently less than $46,620 for a three-person family). The chart below breaks down the specific AMI requirements for HPD financed housing.

In addition, HPD controls six clusters of public sites in the East New York rezoning area that could generate approximately 300 units of affordable housing. To meet calls from the Council Member and the community that more housing should serve the lowest income families, on these public sites, HPD is committing to finance even more units at the 30% and 40% AMI bands.

2016-2024

HPD continues to only finance buildings that are 100 percent affordable in East New York. The East New York projects whose finances have closed and/or are in the pipeline primarily target low and extremely low income households and include affordable housing for formerly homeless households. HPD remains committed to maximizing the number of units it finances at the deepest affordability levels on public sites in the East New York rezoning area, including on the Dinsmore-Chestnut site.

In East New York, MIH is only the floor not the ceiling. When developers come to HPD for financing, HPD will only finance buildings that are 100% affordable, and at levels that target low and extremely low incomes. Through the East New York rezoning, HPD commited to achieving deeper affordability on sites in the neighborhood. In the years since, HPD has revised its financing programs to achieve these same goals on projects citywide. In 2017 HPD revised the terms of its Extremely Low and Low Income Affordability (ELLA) and Mix and Match financing programs, which are two of the most commonly used programs, to provide more homes for the lowest earners and also require that a portion of all homes are set aside for formerly homeless families. These changes were made in response to advocacy from organizations and individuals in Inwood, as well as others from around the city. Key updates include:
"¢ Requiring 40% of all apartments in the ELLA program to serve extremely low and very low incomes as well as requiring and incentivizing deeper affordability under the Mix and Match program.
"¢ Requiring a 10% set aside for homeless families and individuals in every project, while still providing units for extremely low- and very low-income households.
"¢ Encouraging the incorporation of senior or supportive housing.
"¢ Increasing the number of permanently affordable units by 15% in MIH projects
"¢ Achieving a greater mix of incomes within individual projects, which contributes to their long-term sustainability and allows for projects to provide more units for low earners.

The Administration will enforce a three-year pilot CONH program in designated neighborhoods,

from their homes. This program identifies specific buildings which meet criteria indicating that
tenants may be at risk for harassment. Owners of such buildings are required to obtain a CONH
before being granted building permits for specified covered work in the buildings. Community
groups, under contract with HPD and identified through a Request for Proposals (RFP), will
investigate buildings that apply for CONHs.

HPD received funding in Fiscal Year 2019 to implement the pilot Certification of No Harassment (CONH) program in designated neighborhoods to protect tenants from being harassed from their homes. Owners of designated buildings are required to obtain a CONH before being granted building permits for specified covered work in the buildings. The program launched in fall 2018.

DOT's Downtown Far Rockaway Streetscape Reconstruction project will reconstruct Mott Avenue from Redfern Avenue to Beach 17th Street, on Beach 21st and Beach 20th Street from Mott Avenue to Cornaga Avenue, and on Central Avenue from Mott Avenue to Foam Place. Mott Avenue will have expanded sidewalks with new street trees and improved street lighting. This project will also introduce a new DOT public plaza that safely connects pedestrians between the A-train on Beach 22nd Street and regional buses on Beach 21st Street, along with a new gathering space for residents and visitors. This project will be constructed in conjunction with the installation of DEP storm and sanitary sewer infrastructure, supporting the City's rezoning efforts and strengthening resiliency in the wake of extreme weather events. DOT is also currently exploring an interim project, which will use agency in-house materials (markings, signage, etc.) to enhance safety, mobility and quality of life around the intersection of B. 22nd Street. DOT aims to share preliminary designs with the Council Member in spring 2018.
