FCH, along with several other funding sources, supported the acquisition of property to protect affordable housing in Dutchess County. The grant completed funding requirements for the property's rehibilitation, including materials, labor, and consultant fees.

Why We Funded This

This project represented the first affordable rental housing in Amenia and can serve as a springboard to spur the development of additional potential units on the same property. The inclusion of affordable housing opportunities in our rural region can help bridge the robust housing gap and allow residents to come back to their hometown, afford to live in the area they work in, and attract other potential residents to our community.
