Affordable Housing in Greenburgh

Dear Editor:

Westhab wants to tear down a former homeless shelter located on Route 119 (near the County Center) and
hopes to replace the 61 unit shelter with 43 apartments.

The apartments will be rented to working families. Studio apartments will rent for about $800 a month. 2 bedroom apartments will rent for about $1300. Families will be eligible to rent the apartments if their income is between $47,950 to $76,720.

The current building was built in the 1950s.WESTHAB has not submitted their application to the town as
of yet and hopes to finalize plans within the next few weeks. I have had some initial discussions with the president
of the local civic association and hope to meet with other neighbors who reside in the Fulton Park section
of town to discuss the proposal in greater detail.

Paul Feiner,
Supervisor, Town of Greeburgh

Rough Divorce? You’re Not Alone

Dear Editor:

I ask readers going through divorce in Westchester: Are you under a TOP (Temporary Order of Protection)
unnecessarily (e.g. based on bogus allegations signed off by your ex-spouse in a verified court-filed petition)?

Has your spouse chosen to use your children as pawns completely disregarding what is in the best interest
of your children? Do you feel like your kids have been kidnapped by the “system”? Are you being denied unrestricted access to your home and your children even though you have been a good parent?

This is not some weird nightmare, this is reality here in Westchester County. There are currently many men and women in Westchester County who are in the same unfortunate situation. Well, a few of us have taken an interesting approach to the problem.
