The Hudson River Community Association (HRCA) and the Westchester Black Women’s Political Caucus (WBWPC) – Yonkers Chapter invite Westchester residents to attend the first in a series of community forums addressing housing issues and working toward a strategic plan for solutions.
The forum will take place on Thursday, November 6th, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the Yonkers Riverfront Library Auditorium,1 Larkin Center, Yonkers, NY 10701.
The forum will bring together advocates, developers, community organizations, agencies, and government officials across Westchester to address housing challenges and create a strategic plan for their resolution and discuss strategies that promote equity, access, and stability for working families.
As organizers note, together, we can shape policy, strengthen partnerships, and create housing opportunities for all.
“The housing crisis is at a critical point and requires all agencies, including all levels of government, financial institutions, and profit and non-profit developers to work together with renters and public & private owners, to maintain existing housing and to create new affordable housing for all.”
