New Yorkers Face Extreme Heat, NY Sues Dep. of Agriculture, and a Trip to the BQ Flea

A heat advisory is in effect until Wednesday night. A combination of high temperatures and humidity could cause it to feel like temperatures are in the high nineties. Today marks the start of housing week – a week Mayor Adams is dedicating to new housing projects across the five boroughs. This morning, Adams joined city officials and developers in Coney Island for the groundbreaking ceremony for over 400 new affordable housing units. WFUV’s Joseph Vizza reports. The Department of Agriculture has asked states to submit data on food assistance applicants. In response, twenty states are suing the department. WFUV’s Livia Regina explains why. The BQ flea market is a collection of local vendors that get together every weekend. WFUV’s Alexandra Pfau took a trip to Brooklyn to check it out.
