Recently some of our readers reached out in efforts to find low income housing for seniors and grants for senior living.  In response, I would like to take the opportunity to offer information on various cities, please join me as we look at New York City, NY.  Following are some of the links I found which should be of use to those looking for affordable senior housing in New York City and surrounding areas:

“Met Council has been a leader in producing affordable housing for special needs populations in New York City. By leveraging private and public money, our housing portfolio has grown to 2,000 units under management, in construction or in the development process. Of this total, approximately 1,600 units are for the elderly and 400 units are targeted to the homeless and mentally ill. On-site social services are available for residents at each property.”

Housing for Senior Citizens

“Housing options for senior citizens includes supportive and independent housing options for adults age 55 and older.”

 “The need for safe, decent and affordable housing remains an ongoing challenge for the State of New York. This agency is committed to meeting this worthy challenge in comprehensive and innovative ways. The programs described below reflect our aim of advancing our housing goals for the benefit of our customers, the people of New York State.”
