Community Impact:
Vineyard View represents a rare opportunity to provide affordable housing for working families on the North Fork of Long Island. This development epitomizes what Southold was yearning for in recent years, a home that working families can afford to live, in a community that many were raised.

High housing costs have made finding suitable housing in Long Island more challenging for working families than any other region in NYS. It’s no surprise that the income levels for Long Island, particularly in Suffolk County, are the highest in the United States. Home prices are increasing at a rapid rate, while wage rates increase at a steady rate. This has led to an ongoing housing crisis, & without help, there is no end in sight.

Vineyard View will be the first affordable housing development to be constructed in Southold in over thirty years & has received immense local support. The Town of Southold has supported the development by granting a 10% density bonus to the development, allowing for five more additional workforce housing units. Even more, the Town has committed $250,000 from its Affordable Housing Fund & a PILOT to Vineyard View. Suffolk County also highly supports the development by committing
