NEW ROCHELLE – The state Department of Housing and Community Renewal will kick in $2.2 million for the third and final phase of the Robert Hartley Houses public housing project in the City of New Rochelle.
This phase will demolish and remove substandard public housing on the site paving the way for 41 new rental units for low-income families.
The state will also provide $872,000 in low-income housing tax credits, leveraging loans from a bank and the New Rochelle Affordable Housing Trust Fund, as well as New York State Energy and Research and Development funds.
The apartments will be available to low-income households at or below 60 percent of area median income.
