"The city has selected developers to build 400 units of affordable housing on 67 small, vacant and publicly owned lots.
The lots — grouped together into seven clusters in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Manhattan — will be the sites of 100% affordable housing, Housing Preservation and Development Commissioner Maria Torres-Springer will announce Monday.
'One of the key drivers of the housing plan is the creative use of public land, which is in increasingly short supply,' Torres-Springer said.
'Through new programs, (Housing Preservation and Development) is looking to unlock the development of its remaining small sites scattered across the city’s neighborhoods.'"
