LGBT friendly affordable housing coming to Long Island.

In the metropolis that helped give rise to the modern gay rights movement, a new housing project is building homes for its aging members.

The LGBT Network showed off plans for a 75-unit affordable housing apartment complex that embraces lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT) residents, the first development of its kind in Long Island, New York. The Islip Town Board is expected to vote on the development this fall.
