Scheuer House of Bayside (1964)

208-11 26th Avenue, Bayside, NY 11360

 

 

Helen Rose Scheuer was a philanthropist who gave generously to Selfhelp and enabled us to build the Helen R. Scheuer House, Scheuer House of Bayside, and Scheuer House of Flushing. In 1964, the Helen R. Scheuer House opened its doors to 200 Holocaust survivors in Queens. It was Selfhelp’s first development, and the first rental New York State Mitchell-Lama residence to be built by a not-for-profit organization. As referenced above, Mrs. Scheuer’s generosity also resulted in two additional Scheuer Houses, one in Bayside built in 1981, and the other in Flushing built in 1989. Together, the three buildings house over 500 low- and moderate-income seniors.

More on COVID-19

At Selfhelp, we’re hopeful that vaccinations will reduce the spread of COVID-19. We’ve advocated on behalf of our clients, supporting them in planning and scheduling for their vaccines.

In February 2021, we were proud to partner with the Charles B Wang Community Health Center (CBWCHC). With CBWCHC, we opened a vaccination site from our Benjamin Rosenthal Senior Center in Flushing, Queens.
