Mayor Eric Adams declared a "housing week," starting with a video tour of Gracie Mansion. A plan to create 3,000 workforce housing units at the former Flushing Airport site was announced. The Senior Affordable Rental Apartments program will now include more family-sized units, requiring 20 percent of new SARA projects to be two-bedrooms. In the past year, the city built or preserved 28,281 units of housing, including 13,361 new affordable units, bringing the total under Adams’ administration to 95,100. An additional 197,000 units are planned through new zoning actions.
