Creating Affordable Living Right Here In Schenectady

Today was a great day for the City of Schenectady. The Schenectady Municipal Housing Authority’s phase I redevelopment of the Northside Village is a much-welcome addition to the community.

For many hardworking New Yorkers quality affordable housing is a lifeline, especially right now as people continue to face financial hardship brought on by the pandemic. Redevelopment projects like this are the perfect opportunity for families to start fresh and build a life here in our city. In addition to creating a quality housing setting, 18 of the 89 units are set aside to provide housing for people with disabilities and veterans.

I want to thank the Schenectady Municipal Housing Authority, its partners, and other city officials for pursuing this critical investment and helping to ensure our community has a safe, affordable place to call home.
