Gloria Dulan-Wilson Blog/ECLECTICALLY BLACK NEWS: EVENT ALERT EXTRA: THIS WEDNESDAY, MAY 29th: SENIOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING EVENT IN BROOKLYN !

By Gloria Dulan-Wilson

Hello All:

Well, somebody's finally trying to provide decent affordable housing for New York's Senior Citizens. But, then, Laurie Cumbo has always been ahead of the curve in all that she's done. It's been long overdue - for those who have spent all their formative lives working and making New York the wonderful city it is, they have earned the right to be given preference in finding a forever home that won't stress them out because they are overpriced and substandard.

Council Majority Leader Laurie A. Cumbo ov
