LISTEN: The Past, Present and Future of an Island of Exiles (opens in new tab)

We could create permanent affordable housing on Ward’s Island. There is a lot of unused space that’s occupied by an under-censused hospital. It is public land, so it would cost money to build but we wouldn’t have to buy the land. The housing could be affordable, and it could be mixed for formerly homeless people and general community members that are low income, and we could also create amenities for life to be more livable there.
