News, updates and more from NYC Council Member Rafael Salamanca, Jr.

 

150-UNITS OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR SENIORS 

🏡 Senior housing isn’t just about providing shelter for the pillars of our community - it’s about empowering our elders to age in dignity, and to remain integral members of the communities they helped build.

👉 With its 150-units of affordable housing for seniors 62 years young and up, Garden Towers Apartments does just that for the future seniors who will call the building home.

I thank my colleagues in government for their financial support and commend Foxy Management for their continued commitment to ensuring #Bronxites have access to safe, affordable housing.



"PROTECTING NEW YORK CITY'S FOOD SUPPLY"

Did you know:
👉 If the Hunts Point Meat Market lost power for 3 consecutive days, they would lose close to $200 million in meat production.

During a productive walkthrough at the Market yesterday, I received updates on their expansion plans - including upgrades to their old refrigeration system, which is supported by the $12.7 million my office has allocated to them over the last 2 years.

"MENTORING OUR FUTURE LEADERS"

Let's extend a warm welcome to our Interns- Alesha & Robert- who will be joining 
#TeamSalamanca will assist with administrative and community services through the remainder of the summer.

IN THE NEWS

"I felt that the New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA)’s policy didn't have any teeth into it. NYCHA is not reviewing these e batteries to make sure they're not black market e batteries. Right now, there's no police to have them register, so how do they know who has one and who doesn't? There's no way to monitor it - NYCHA said it's a ‘see something say something policy.’”
