Of course Wednesday's information session regarding affordable housing at Essex Crossing devolved into chaosdue in part to a distinct lack of translators and organizers for which The Lo Down has a few choice descriptionsbut at least a few informational tidbits were gleaned from the meeting. Although people won't be able to apply for the affordable housing lottery for the first phase of SPURA-replacing construction for another year or so, just how affordable housing applicants will be prioritized is now clear. Half of the 500 affordable apartments will be prioritized for members of Community District 3, and within that allotment, former SPURA site dwellersdefined as anyone who lived in the Seward Park Extension Urban Renewal Area bounded by Delancey Street, Essex Street, Grand Street and Willett Street in the years 1965 to 1973get additional priority.
