Poughkeepsie, NY — 2019-2020, Hudson River Housing
In 2019-2020, I helped establish and run an affordable housing coalition in three rural towns in Dutchess County, New York to identify community needs and potential sites for development. MORE ABOUT THE PROJECT
By leveraging commitments made in each of the three towns’ comprehensive plans, I worked with community members, town leadership, developers, and non-profits to identify possible sites for affordable housing in the region. At monthly open community forums and focus groups, we made our work public, gathered feedback, and coalesced support. This work has culminated in a 28 unit affordable housing project now being developed in Amenia, NY.
