Affordable Housing

Westchester County government maintains a page of links for apartment hunters (homes.westchestergov.com/available-units-tenants), which includes information on lotteries for affordable housing units.

Housing Voucher Choice Program (also known as Section 8) can help offset the cost of rent.  Note separate programs for some areas of the County.  Many cities application programs are currently closed; the recommended action is to check each and get on their waiting lists.  CVR New York manages the federally funded Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program for Westchester County.  This program gives first priority to those not served by one of the local housing authority programs listed below.

Westchester Residential Opportunities (WRO) maintains a list of affordable rentals and afforable homes for sale and provides education and support for your search.
