New Residence for Low-Income Seniors at 385 3rd Avenue Opens with a Bang!
Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, Assemblyman Brian Kavanagh and Councilwoman Rosie Mendez gathered on Friday, September 21, along with Met Council’s housing department and volunteers to welcome the 50 new residents of 385 3rd Avenue in Manhattan. The residence contains 49 apartments for the very low-income elderly.
Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY) commented: “It’s hard to build anything in New York, much less non-profit, low-income housing. This beautiful building is a testament to the Met Council’s expertise and ingenuity in providing shelter for the elderly, the poor, and the homeless."
