Phipps Houses

We were excited to host a ribbon-cutting event for Apex Place Apartments, a Phipps Houses’ affordable housing development in Forest Hills, Queens! A huge thank you to our amazing partners FXCollaborative and Curtis + Ginsberg Architects for your dedication, support, and collaboration in helping us create a project that has made a lasting impact on our community! We also want to thank Queens Borough President Donovan Richards, New York City Council member James F. Gennaro and Queens Community Board 6 for coming out and supporting the event. We also had the opportunity to honor the legacy of Joseph Hennessey, former Forest Hills MHA President and Queens Community Board 6 Chair, in recognition of his dedicated service to the community.

We hosted a tree planting ceremony in honor of Lynda Simmons, former President of Phipps Houses. Her tenure as President (1982-1993) was marked by her unwavering commitment to nurturing and enriching the lives of those within our community beyond thoughtfully designed infrastructure. As a true community builder, Ms Simmons vision addressed the needs of our neighborhoods with strategic planning and thoughtful consideration. Advocating for pairing affordable housing with human services, she understood our communities needed more than just quality housing. The tree we planted in her memory stands as a symbol of growth, a living tribute to Lynda Simmons' legacy. Her memory inspires us to continue mirroring her dedication and forging pathways that will build thriving communities. 🌳
