Perhaps you recall the supportive housing development the Fifth Avenue Committee has been trying to build at Fifth Avenue. Well, many months after the public discussion about the building at 575 Fifth Avenue started, the City Council has voted unanimously to approve it, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reports. The building, which will have 49 units of affordable housing for formerly homeless residents and for senior citizens, had won over many local opponents (though some still objected). It was approved by the City Planning Commission in May. Borough President Marty Markowitz had disapproved it, however. In any case, the City Council’s vote was unanimous. The development will rise on the site of a municipal parking lot.
