Housing proposal faces backlash Is affordable residences idea a threat to existing neighbors? By WILL SHEELINE wsheeline@liherald.com
A proposal to include a Faith-Based Housing Act in the New York state budget has sparked debate on Long Island, with concerns about its potential impact on local zoning laws and the ability of religious organizations to build affordable housing on their properties. The proposal, brought forward by State Senator Andrew Gournades, a Democrat from the 26th Assembly District, ultimately did not make it into the final budget, but it has left a mark on residents and local officials. Joseph Saladino, Republican supervisor for the Town of Oyster Bay, expressed concern
