May 23, 2024Lottery Opened for Bay Ridge Towers – June 2024
Update: The results from this lottery will be out on December 19th.
In September, some people received letters that they were on the waiting list (if any of the preliminary applicants didn’t meet the requirements).
The Bay Ridge Courier announced the lottery for the The Bay Ridge Towers. So far, it is only for studio apartments. This is middle income affordable housing through the Mitchell Lama program.
To request a lottery application you send a self-stamped address envelope. It must reach them by 9:00 am on June 24th (so aim to be earlier):
Honest Ballot Office
27246 Grand Central Parkway
Floral Park, NY 11005
This lottery is for both of the buildings.
After everyone sends in their application, they do the lottery for the order that 300 people will contacted when a studio becomes available. Some people are lucky and get called right away, but many wait on the list for years.
Some people, who don’t want a studio will apply for it because once someone lives in a building, they will transfer to a larger apartment when it becomes available.

Good Luck!

May 23, 2024Gardening at St. Andrew’s Church
Pope Francis asked Catholics to care for the Earth this year. St. Andrew’s heard the message and responded.
The Care for Creation ministry doesn’t just remember the Earth on one day.
This year, during Laudato Si’ Week, the group will dedicate a St. Kateri habitat named in honor of the patron saint of the environment, Saint Kateri.
The habitat has to have flowers that attract pollinators, no chemicals can be used and there has to be a religious aspect.
