In the mid-1980s, Mayor Roland Bogardus formed the Croton Housing Task Force to address the dearth of affordable housing in Croton. Comprised of Croton clergy and concerned community activists, this grew into the Croton Housing Network, Inc., a volunteer not-for-profit organization that has become one of the most successful not-for-profit developers of affordable housing in Westchester County.

What makes this affordable housing program work?

• Locally driven; deep Croton roots

• Collaboration with the Village for a public/private model that works

• Property management from WestHab

• A dedicated group of long-serving Board Members

• Stick-to-itiveness

Every project presents unique challenges:

• Finding the opportunity

• Funding sources

• Funding applications

• Project management
