Nassau County HOME funds in the amount of $1 million dollars for the construction of Parkside Gardens in the Village of Hempstead. The former 1950 style structure was demolished and consisted of multi-level hi-rise apartment units. They have been replaced with modern Townhouse units. The total development cost is $23,000,000.

The original complex was a HUD funded housing authority and has been converted into private ownership, which is the first of its kind on Long Island(according to Peter Florey of The D&F Development Group, LLC).

After 51 years, the development will be owned by Middle County Resource Management, an approved community housing development organization under Nassau County's HOME Program.
