projects

The Fund's first project as developer created two three-bedroom ownership homes, each with a one-bedroom accessory apartment, on Warburton Avenue near Pinecrest Drive.  The initial buyer/renter combination in 2003 included two Hastings Fire Department volunteers.

The next project was undertaken with a private developer for 14 affordable rental units at Division Street and Warburton Avenue.  It is a combination of one-, two-, and three-bedroom units.  The initial rent-up in 2008 included two Hastings Fire Department volunteers, four Town of Greenburgh employees, and one Hastings school employee. Each of these early projects was undertaken when the Fund was permitted to give preference in the lottery system to Village and School District employees and Fire Department Volunteers.

In early 2016 we completed a total rehabilitation of a three story apartment house on Washington Avenue. It is a three unit condominium with one two-bedrooom apartment and two duplex three-bedroom apartments.  This project was subject to a Westchester County settlement requiring projects funded with County money to be widely marketed and prohibiting housing preferences to local groups. The Fund has been complying with these requirements. 

In the fall of 2015 a private developer, working with the Fund, began construction of a 66 unit rental project on Route 9A consisting of 12  affordable apartments in one building and 54 market-rate apartments. As of January 2017, 10 of the 12 affordable apartments have been occupied. 

In the Spring of 2017, the Fund expects to break ground on a new three bedroom house with a one-bedroom rental accessory apartment, to be built on a new lot adjacent to 190 Farragut Avenue. 

The Affordable Housing Committee is always looking for land in Hastings for new units;  this is particularly challenging in a built-out community like ours.
