    The Neighborhood Opportunities Fund (NOF) recently welcomed Goldman Sachs Bank USA (Goldman Sachs) to its roster of supporters. The NOF funders collaborative, made up of many of the largest financial institutions and other philanthropic foundations in New York City, is a key force in community development. NOF provides core funding to both affordable housing developers through the Strategic Neighborhoods Initiative and organizations engaged in community organizing through the Initiative for Neighborhood and City-Wide Organizing. Goldman Sachs recent decision to join NOF is a welcome addition, broadening the Funds financial base and bringing an even wider strategic reach.

    Groundbreaking Of New Senior Housing In Queens
    The NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), NYC Housing Development Corporation (HDC), and Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty recently celebrated the groundbreaking of an eight-story, Queens-based, 78-unit residence for lowincome senior citizens in early October. This groundbreaking represents an unprecedented partnership between the public and private sectors, said HUD Regional Administrator Adolfo Carrin. This is an especially impressive partnership, given the shortage of vacant land large enough for building sorely needed multifamily housing. The building, named Council Towers VI, is part of the Citys New Housing MarketPlace Plan (NHMP) and helps the administration saunter towards its stated goal of building 165,000 affordable homes by 2015. According to HPD and HDC, the City has financed 14,767 units of affordable housing for middle-class and lowincome New Yorkers in fiscal year 2010; and over 108,000 units in total to date. In related news, HDC officials voted to infuse NHMP with $151.2 million via tax-exempt and taxable Multi-Family Housing Revenue Bonds, 2010 Series G, H, and I.
