A Documentary video on "The Affordability Housing Crisis on the South Fork"

Saturday, April 29, 10 a.m., Southampton H.S. Auditorium on Long Lane (South of Hampton Road).

Also to be shown Saturday, May 6, 10 a.m., East Hampton H.S. Auditorium
 
A family on the South Fork of Long Island with the current median income of $88,850 is said to be able to afford a $280,000 home.

But the current median home price on the South Fork is $600,000 and rising.
What is the impact of this affordability gap on the recruitment and retention of teachers, hospital workers, skilled tradespeople, firefighters, town, police, bank, business and other key employee groups that keep our towns functioning? What is the impact on young families, senior citizens and retirees?

All community members are invited to discuss this issue at the premiere of a new documentary video produced by the League of Women Voters of the Hamptons and titled “Trouble in Paradise: The Affordability Housing Crisis on the South Fork.”
