Governor Kathy Hochul announced that $3 million has been awarded to Croton-on-Hudson for an affordable housing project.

The funding Croton-on-Harmon is receiving is part of a large effort by the state to further local economic development initiatives, expand the housing supply statewide and provide support services for seniors and others while promoting more equitable and diverse neighborhoods.

In Croton, a project planned for 41-51 Maple Street by Regan Development Corporation will feature 33 apartments across two buildings for residents with a wide range of incomes. The development will consist of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, 11 of each spread between the two buildings.

The funding for the Croton-on-Hudson affordable housing project is part of Governor Hochul’s statewide plan to increase the housing supply by creating or preserving 100,000 affordable homes across New York, including 10,000 with support services for vulnerable populations.

The New York State Homes and Community Renewal’s Multifamily Finance RFP, a competitive process used to award Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credits and subsidy financing for affordable and supportive multifamily housing developments, is the source of the funding.

The Croton project is required to meet green building standards as part of Homes and Community Renewal’s efforts to achieve the goals set by the New York State Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, which requires an 85 percent reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from 1990 levels by 2050 and eventually net zero emissions across all sectors of the economy.

Croton Mayor Brian Pugh said, “The announced funding for a 33-unit all affordable development in Croton-on-Hudson promises relief to rent burdened residents. The current pandemic has only aggravated the chronic housing shortage in our region. The sale and redevelopment of the unused village-owned parcel where the new homes are to be built is a boon to our municipal balance sheet and a benefit for our local economy. Thank you to State Senator Pete Harckham, Assemblymember Sandy Galef and our partners in Westchester County for their steadfast support of this project and enhancing affordability in our communities.”

  2. I am a retired senior looking for affordable housing for me and my 82 year old partner. How do I apply?

  3. Hello I am a retired 44 yr former resident of Croton. I was forced to sell my home there after the death of my husband in June 2022. I miss everything about Croton and come here for my shopping still even though I rent in Perkskill. The Gazette comes to me each week telling of the wonderful happenings of the Croton Caring Group that for many years I supported with the hope if one day belonging to. I wish to be amongst them.

  4. My daughter and family live in Croton.
    Affordable rentals are few and far between especially in
    Westchester county.
    I am retired and cannot afford the rents.
    I worked in Montessori School 27 Yonkers
    As a school clerk.
    In the summers I worked at Elmwood Day Camp.

    Please consider me for an apartment.
    Thank you, Debbie Proterra
