10 MYTHS ABOUT AFFORDABLE HOUSING | |
|
|
|
|
Thank you NPW board members Richard Nightingale, CEO of Westhab and Allison Lake, Executive Director of Westchester Children's Association for an outstanding presentation on the "10 Myths About Affordable Housing in Westchester" last week with over 100 attendees.
The fact is that 40% of our community is struggling to live in Westchester County and that percentage jumps to 60% for the nonprofit workforce. This community-wide issue needs a community-wide effort to advocate for solutions. If you missed the workshop or wish to learn more about affordable housing in Westchester, visit Affordable Housing Resources. |
