Westhab’s mission is: Building Communities. Changing Lives. We build communities by developing high-quality affordable housing, and we change lives by delivering a broad range of services designed to help people and communities thrive. The sum of our efforts is a comprehensive community development approach that transforms neighborhoods and delivers hope and opportunity to our neighbors who are most in need. Since our founding in 1981, Westhab has built 1,094 affordable housing units, moved 9,149 households from homelessness to affordable housing, placed 8,099 people into employment, and delivered services to over 10,000 homeless and at-risk youth. We invite you to join us and help us deepen our impact as we serve more people in more communities than ever before.

The lack of affordable housing in Westchester impacts our ability to attract and retain talent. With our Welcome Home Westchester partners, the WCA is taking action with the "5 in 2025" initiative, a clear and urgent plan for every Westchester community to address the housing shortage: "5 in 2025" Agenda 👉 https://bit.ly/47ADO79 If nothing is done, the ripple effects will continue to hurt our economy and communities. While neighboring states make strides, New York is falling behind. Not every community needs to do the same thing, but every community must do something.
