Our Vision
To help low and middle income families in our community obtain quality-built rental and for sale housing and provide support to current homeowners.
Our Goals
- Build cost-effective for sale and rental homes for low and moderate income families and active adults age 55 and over
- Provide technical assistance to local municipalities, private developers, community based organizations and others who wish to provide cost effective homes
- Provide financial counseling to remove all obstacles blocking the path to homeownership
- Help our senior citizens obtain low cost rental housing in our active adult communities
- Create housing for local volunteers and health care providers who can no longer afford to live in Rockland County
- Support all residents with issues regarding homeownership including foreclosure prevention, home maintenance
Our Approach
- Pre-qualify eligible buyers and support them through the mortgage and homeownership process
- Obtain financing from lending institutions to construct hew housing developments
- Procure grants from federal, state and local government to reduce the cost to rent/purchase homes we construct for income eligible individuals
- Locate viable building sites to provide cost effective homes
- Work with caring volunteers and professionals who work with RHAC to evaluate building sites, supervise construction and represent buyers at closing
- Partner with local builders, community-minded banks and professionals who reduce their fees to help us develop quality homes
Organizational Structure
- Active Board of Directors representing various community and professional groups
- Minimum staff of hired dedicated professionals so most of the funding obtained can be used for project costs
