Coming soon to a block near you: 53 units of affordable housing, courtesy of the federal government. CAMBA (a Flatbush nonprofit with an elusive acronym) will receive $2.239 million to construct the building at 97 Crooke Avenue. While technically outside the border of PLG, it's damn close — just two blocks from Ocean and Parkside.

CAMBA used to stand for Church Avenue Merchants Block Association. Today it is a multi-million dollar social service agency. In the past year of so, it formally changed its name to CAMBA, no longer using it as an acronym. Now it is just CAMBA.
