Ossining's Avalon Affordable Housing Lottery Ends Jan. 18

By village law, ten percent of the newly (nearly) complete Avalon housing units on North Highland in Ossining, expected to enter the market in February, must be designated as affordable units for lower income families and individuals.

Those interested in entering the lottery for these 17 of the 168 units can do so during the open enrollment now through Jan. 18. 

Applications can be downloaded online or picked up at:

The Village of Ossining, Planning Department, John Paul Rodrigues Ossining Operations Center, 101 Route 9-A Ossining, NY 10562

or

IFCA, 138 Spring Street, Ossining, NY 10562

The income requirements: 

• A one-person household must earn under $58,400,
• two-person household under $66,750,
• three-person household: $75,100,
• four-person household: $83,400,
• five-person household: $90,100,
• six-person household: $96,750.

Monthly Rents

• 1 Bedroom: $1,442*
• 2 Bedrooms: $1,722*
• 3 Bedrooms: $1,984*

*Avalon Ossining residents are responsible for gas, electric, water/sewer, phone and cable utilities. Additional fees for pets and garage parking may apply. 

Of course, the rest of the units will go for higher market rates, which can only mean charges to come for the somewhat depressed surrounding stretch of businesses. 

How do you think Avalon's completion will change the area and its businesses? Weigh in below and we'll follow this on Patch with an update soon.
