For those 55 and over living on fixed incomes, the completion of the 66-unit Hyenga Lake senior housing in Nanuet means clean, affordable housing.
“It is a dream come true for seniors in this community. CPC is proud to have played a key role in this project by providing construction loan financing. We are particularly pleased to once again work in collaboration with the Rockland Housing Action Coalition in providing much-needed senior housing in this county,” said Doug Olcott, senior vice president of the Community Preservation Corp.
