The get-together served as a fundraiser, with 50 percent of the proceeds going to benefit Sunset Park Landmark Committee, whose purpose is to preserve the neighborhood’s historic homes, and 50 percent going to tenant advocacy agency Neighbors Helping Neighbors (NHN), which is attempting to preserve 400 units of Section 8 Housing in Sunset.
“We feel very strongly about this fundraiser,” said Lynn Massimo of the Landmarks Committee, who stressed the importance of residents being able to preserve Sunset’s identity. “We came to Sunset to remain a diverse neighborhood and that means it has to have affordable housing. NHN is currently engaged in trying to preserve 400 units of section 8 housing that is due to expire. We want to support their efforts in affordable housing.”
