Street Condominium, were built on land provided by the City of Yonkers and developed
in accordance with the requirements of the Long Term Plan Order, as amended, entered
in the case of U.S. v Yonkers 80 CIV 6761 (LBS)(SDNY). Flintlock Construction
Company and Westhab of Yonkers, Inc. partnered to develop this project. It is
a mixed income development of which 13 of the 22 homes are affordable to households
with incomes below 100% of the Westchester County median income and sold to beneficiaries

the home buying process, including securing mortgage loans.

also under development under the Long Term Plan Order. It is a 34 unit development
of which 17 units are affordable. The Housing Action Council has secured funding
