A proposed transformation of the SUNY Downstate campus in Brooklyn could involve replacing a hospital with a massive affordable housing project. While Governor Kathy Hochul has not publicly mentioned housing as part of the plan, SUNY Chancellor John King confirmed that affordable housing units are likely to be built on the state-owned land if the hospital is closed. The plan also includes relocating inpatient care services to surrounding hospitals and building a new facility for outpatient care. The proposal has sparked controversy due to concerns about access to healthcare services in Central Brooklyn. [Extracted from the article]
