Thanks Jonah.

So I'll spend the next few slides discussing public sites that can add more income restricted units to the AMUP area beyond mandatory inclusionary housing.

HPD is pursuing land use actions for five public sites which I'll discuss in more detail.
0:28:10
In addition to those sites, during public review the city collaborated with the Empire State Development Corporation and local elected officials to advance a project at 1024 Fulton Street, a state owned site.
0:28:21
Empire State Development has started public outreach to redevelop the site for affordable housing which is intended to occur through a general project plan or GPP process.

At 542 Dean Street, we seek to facilitate the development of a 51 affordable homes for older New Yorkers earning up to 50% of the area median income.
0:28:44
We will also provide on-site social services, a separate community facility space, and 6,500 square feet of new publicly accessible open space.

0:28:57
At 516 Bergen Street, we seek to facilitate an 11 story mixed use development with a 11 affordable homes for families with the majority of units up to 60% of the area median income and the remainder up to 80% of AMI based on the extremely low and low income affordability program or ELA term sheet.
0:29:18
The proposal also includes a 5,000 square foot multi purpose community center and 23 replacement parking spaces in the cellar for HPD to continue storing inspection vehicles on-site.
0:29:30
An urban development action area plan is proposed to facilitate both projects along with an acquisition action for the Bergen Street project to allow HPD to keep a portion for the site, portion of the site for vehicles in the cellar.

At 1134 Pacific Street, HPD is working with the nonprofit Acacia Network to develop an 11 story mixed use building with a 19 affordable homes using the Ella term sheet as well to reach lower income New Yorkers.
0:30:03
To facilitate the proposal, AIM UP included acquisition and Article 11 disposition actions to allow HPD to remove a previously approved deed restriction from a previously approved UDAP.
0:30:15
HPD would momentarily reacquire the site and transfer the property back to Acacia Network to build this affordable housing proposal.

At 1110 Atlantic Avenue there is an approximately 26,000 square foot site owned by the city and leased to the New York City Transit Authority for a cable repair shop and storage space.
0:30:37
The city is proposing an acquisition and disposition action for the site to allow for future redevelopment.

At 457 Nostrand Avenue, we continue to evaluate infill development of up to two forty homes on a property owned by New York City public schools with an adult learning center and a large surface parking lot.
0:30:58
We are considering infill with affordable housing and community facility space for New York City public schools on the parking lot.
0:31:05
To facilitate a future redevelopment we're proposing an Article 11 disposition of city owned property which is also coming before City Council.
