Concern Housing, formerly Concern for Independent Living, is one of the largest providers of housing and support services in New York State. Founded in 1972 by the parents and friends of psychiatric patients at the Central Islip State Hospital, Concern currently operates more than 1,300 units of high quality, affordable and supportive housing in over 240 locations across Suffolk and Nassau counties, and Brooklyn and the Bronx.
The Wyandanch Village development, a rail-centered hamlet in the Town of Babylon is the cornerstone project of the Wyandanch revitalization plan. The development has spurred community revitalization, infrastructure investment in roads, sewers and a parking garage, and has created a transit oriented-brownfield redevelopment that includes affordable rental housing, public services, and the Long Island Music Hall of Fame.
