Crain’s New York editors included [a Brighton Beach businessman making waves in the affordable housing industry](http://mycrains.crainsnewyork.com/40under40/profiles/2010/10194?ref=bklyner.com) in their highly respected “40 Under Forty” roundup.

Eugene Schneur is the managing director of Omni New York. The company buys and rehabilitates affordable housing units in the tri-state area, including numerous Section 8 buildings.

Schneur is no stranger to affordable housing. His family emigrated from the former Soviet Union when he was 7, and they moved into a Brighton Beach apartment complex where they used Section 8 vouchers to help pay the rent.

After spending six years practicing M&A and securities law, client and former Mets player Mo Vaughn proposed forming a real estate business using low-income tax credits and tax-exempt bond financing.

After spending $500 million on purchasing and revitalizing run-down and crime-infested apartment complexes, the 37-year-old Schneur garnered praise from editors at Crain’s in their recently released list of 40 rising business stars under 40 years old.

“We’re making money while doing good,” Schneur [told Crain’s](http://mycrains.crainsnewyork.com/40under40/profiles/2010/10194?ref=bklyner.com).
