Greenburgh Housing Authority Gets $1.5M For Protection Vouchers

GREENBURGH, NY — The Greenburgh Housing Authority was awarded more than $1.5 million by the Department of Housing and Urban Development to provide tenant protection vouchers to Public Housing (Low-Rent) Program assisted residents.

The vouchers will help households with relocation or replacement housing when the public housing units are slated under a HUD-approved plan for demolition and disposition actions or mandatory conversion.

Lynne Patton, HUD regional administrator for New York and New Jersey, said the vouchers deliver on two of HUD's top priorities: the preservation of affordable housing and the promise of a safe and sanitary home.

"Residents may use these vouchers to relocate to a preferred dwelling or for temporary housing while their units are being improved," she said. "Either way, families end up in affordable homes they can be proud of for years to come."

The housing assistance is provided through HUD's Housing Choice Voucher Program.
