"During my re-election campaign I pledged that city government would combine all of its existing data on available housing into a comprehensive Web site that will also include information on legal services, assistance for building owners and information on city services for tenants," said Bloomberg.

In the same way that 311 brings together comprehensive information on city services through one telephone number, this Web site will provide New Yorkers with a single point of entry to affordable housing information."
