Mt. Kisco - Within a day after closing on
its financing, thanks to having receiving final approvals from
the town, A-HOME broke ground on its Scotts Ridge project.
This is the first affordable housing to be built in Pound Ridge
and will provide twelve suites for older adults. Designed for
accessibility the two attractive buildings feature six suites
in each building with a common kitchen, with laundry, on each
floor. The innovative design combines desired privacy with
opportunities for socialization. Considerations for wheelchairs
and hearing and sight accommodations make the suites accessible
for individuals living with disabilities. The buildings are
clustered on a three acre site with landscaping in keeping
with the local environment, leaving much of the building lot
undisturbed.
Occupancy is tentative scheduled for early fall 2008. Income
eligibility for the project is at or below 60% of the area's median income
or $42,660 for an individual or $48,770 for a couple. Application forms
are available at A-HOME's website and office, the Pound Ridge Town House,
community organizations, from the link below or through the mail by request.
