Customs House Site Housing Development
Description
The city is preparing an RFP for 12–23 ownership units (cottage clusters, duplexes, triplexes) on the Customs House site using a Community Land Trust model, targeting 80–120% AMI buyers.
Impact summary
This would create the first genuinely affordable for-sale homes Astoria has seen in years, with capped equity growth to keep them affordable for future buyers.
