Four hundred and fifty seniors from the community and neighboring districts joined Assemblyman Boyland on The Spirit of New York for its Annual Senior Cruise Day. Not forgetting our precious aging resources, the Assemblyman continues to fund this yearly appreciative voyage.
Assemblyman Boyland joins forces with ASA President, Alex Schagle, to announce the coming of ASA’s College of Excellence to the district. ASA is an accredited region-wide institution that offers college courses, career development and job placement. As an underserved community, ASA will provide an integrated educational experience that is student-centered and experientially-based, integrating professional skills, general education, and career-focused knowledge.
Courses include:
ESL (English as a second language)
Job Readiness/Preparedness
Citizenship Preparation
Computer Literacy Workshops.
Knowing our future lies in the hands of our youth, Assemblyman Boyland gave unforeseen summer internship opportunities to 40 young leaders within the district. These internships allowed students to make important contributions to the community while participating in a challenging and rewarding work experience.
The New York City Housing Authority has modernized activities for the 55th AD and granted Assemblyman Boyland over $30 million dollars in capital for creation and renovation projects. Developments include: roof replacement on Garvey and Howard Avenues totaling $6,150,000 and $4,787,652, respectively; security cameras in Brownsville totaling $2,000,000; Brevoort elevator replacement totaling $6,150,000; apartment window replacement in Crown Heights; Ocean Hill Apartments CCTV installation; upgrading the Prospect Plaza Community Center; intercom upgrade in Tapscott Street Rehab; and many more promising housing projects. Assemblyman Boyland continues to urge and petition for affordable housing that’s safe and inhabitable.
