Brooklyn housing preservation group seeking funds
A Dyker Heights-based housing preservation group that has been at the forefront of the city’s fight against landlords who illegally convert single- and two-family homes into multi-unit apartment houses is hoping for a boost in donations in order to continue its work.
The Brooklyn Housing Preservation Alliance will hold a fundraiser on Saturday, Aug. 6, at Indigo Murphy’s, a pub at 7102 Fort Hamilton Parkway, from 6 to 10 p.m. Tickets are $20 at the door.
Bob Cassara, the alliance’s founder, said the group needs additional funds in order to print informational fliers and pamphlets, as well as for other expenses. “We can’t keep doing what we do without money,” he told the Brooklyn Eagle.
