Magnolia Gardens, developed by Asian Americans for Equality (AAFE) and managed in partnership with Urban Resources Institute (URI), will bring much-needed 90 units of transitional housing for families with children in need of shelter to the Downtown Flushing neighborhood in Queens, NY. The residents will have access to various services and amenities, including supportive programming, a STEAM-based empowerment center, community rooms and activities, and a landscaped rear yard. The intent of health- and wellness-centered spaces and programming is to emphasize maintaining an active, well-balanced lifestyle.
Feng Shui was included in the design of this building. A water fountain feature was installed in the lobby, which was the backdrop for the opening ceremony in March 2026.
