Suffolk May Offer Seized Homes to Sandy Victims
The Newsday (11/19, Hampton, 412K) reports, "Suffolk County Legis. Kate Browning is looking into the possibility of housing residents displaced by superstorm Sandy on 10 properties the county agreed to transfer to Mastic Beach for low- to middle-income families. As part of the effort to help storm victims, Browning (WF-Shirley) said officials might also allow owners of storm-ravaged homes on the Mastic Beach waterfront to swap land and relocate to higher ground while the county restores their former properties, which would be preserved and protected as open space." A majority of the homes would be made available to low- and middle-income residents.
