New Apartments at 726 Old White Plains Road
Washingtonville Housing Alliance’s new building at 726 Old White Plains Road opened for occupancy on May 25, 2007. The Grand Opening was held June 15, 2007.
726 Old White Plains was built with tax credit financing secured through The New York State Housing Trust Fund, Home Funds provided by the County of Westchester and the Westchester County New Homes Land Acquisition Fund. Because of the financing, there are restrictions on the income level of tenants who can move in to the building and on the rents that can be charged. As a condition of the financing, Washingtonville Housing Alliance developed and conducted an approved marketing plan with outreach to the general population, the African American community and the Hispanic Community. The new development was widely advertised.
