Exciting news from the Village of Haverstraw! 🏡 Westhab is thrilled to announce that, alongside our Village partners, we've been awarded NYS Empire State Development Momentum Funds to build a new affordable housing development for Haverstraw! Thanks to Mayor Mike Kohut and the Village for their support and to Hope Knight, President, CEO, and Commissioner of Empire State Development, for championing community development. And this all wouldn't be possible without Governor Kathy Hochul prioritizing affordable housing in the Mid-Hudson region! Let's keep building better communities together. #AffordableHousing #CommunityDevelopment #NYSFunding #BuildingCommunities #ChangingLives 🏠👏

Shining a spotlight on the crucial link between employment and stable housing at Parkside Haven Family Shelter!

A heartfelt thank you to the Standard Communities team for joining us at the Hudson Family Residence Shelter for a day of volunteering and spreading joy! Not only did the team roll up their sleeves to paint the space, but they also kickstarted their long-term project by involving families in creating a theme for an upcoming mural. 🎨 It was so great to see everyone come together and share ideas! Stay tuned for more updates! #BuildingCommunities #ChangingLives
