Adirondack Roots, AdkAction and LivingADK are offering owners of short-term rentals (STRs) a stipend to convert their properties to long-term rentals — a pilot program meant to help alleviate the region’s persistent housing shortage.
Adirondack Roots will build four new, single-family homes in Keene aimed at moderate-income families. Applications for homes in the Both Meadow Trail development are now being accepted.
Adirondack Roots will provide all the same services, including homebuying assistance, housing rehabilitation, manufactured home replacement, emergency repairs, foreclosure prevention, and administration of the Section 8 housing voucher program in Essex and Clinton counties. It will also continue to administer Adirondack Community Housing Trust to develop permanently affordable housing throughout the region.
The Housing Assistance Program of Essex County Board of Directors is pleased to announce the hiring of Megan Murphy as HAPEC’s next Executive Director effective immediately. Megan is a longtime resident of Essex County and will replace interim Executive Director Alan Hipps. She will manage a $2.8 million dollar budget and $2 million dollars in assets which include 29 rental housing and commercial units.
On Wednesday, June 8, Housing Assistance Program of Essex County (HAPEC) celebrated NeighborWorks Week with the residents of Lee House apartments in Port Henry. HAPEC staff delivered four wicker chairs for Lee House residents and their guests to enjoy on the front porch. They spruced up the porch and yard and enjoyed a barbeque lunch. Decker’s Flats Greenhouse provided the flowers.
