Investor Invasion of the Small Homes Market in Queens Chhaya's report entitled, "Investor Invasion: The Changing Landscape of Small Home Investors in Queens," reveals the alarming trend in homebuyers being priced out of purchasing small homes (one and two-family houses) in neighborhoods that, not long ago, were affordable for low-to-moderate income (LMI) immigrant communities. After a year of research and client-counseling sessions, Chhaya found a significant increase in real-estate investor activity in the Queens small homes market. Neighborhoods that overcame the barrier of redlining, now face a new threat linked to gentrification. The paper's author, William Spisak, and experts in the field will discuss more on the issue of investors crowding out families in the small homes market. This event is hosted by CUNY Law's Community and Economic Development Clinic at the CUNY Law School. Moderated by: Annetta Seecharran, Executive Director, Chhaya CDC Panelists: Lena Afridi, Director of Policy, ANHD; Tarry Hum, Professor and Chair of Queens College's Department of Urban Studies; Christie Peale, CEO and Executive Director of CNYCN; William Spisak, Program Director, Economic Justice, Chhaya CDC.
