Yonkers Insider: Save the Date: Westchester Residential Housing Opportunities Expo in Yonkers.

 

Assemblyman Sayegh meeting with My Brothers Keeper Students from Lincoln High School.

Founded in 1968, Westchester Residential Opportunities, Inc. is a nonprofit organization located in White Plains, NY. Their mission is to promote equal, affordable and accessible housing opportunities for all residents in Westchester County. Programs include promoting equal access to housing (eliminating housing discrimination and helping enforce fair housing and fair lending laws); eviction, mortgage default and utility shut-off prevention counseling by HUD-certified housing counselors; first-time home buying counseling; and an independent living program. For the first time, Westchester Residential Opportunities will host their Annual Expo in the City of Yonkers at the Riverfront Library. At this event, interested attendees can attend workshops for on the topics of first-time home buying, eviction prevention and fair & affordable housing. I encourage all residents to consider attending this event to learn more about the state of housing in our communities.
