ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY FOR $2,372.50 a MONTH INSTEAD OF $7000 --LOTTERY TO BE HELD
Release Date: March 02, 2015

APPLICATION POSTED BELOW FOR AFFORDABLE ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY
4 units will be offered at discounted rates to winners of lottery---application due April 15th
 
Living in an assisted living facility is very expensive. It's unaffordable for the middle class and those who are on limited incomes.  Monthly rents are as  could be as high as $7000 a month. Many Greenburgh residents (elderly and children of elderly) have asked me to work on this cause.  I believe that local governments and the town of Greenburgh should do more to make assisted living opportunities affordable. I intend to propose that a certain number of rooms in assisted living facilities in Greenburgh  be affordable to lower income residents before approvals are granted.  When new applications are presented to the Town Board I hope we can follow the  lead of the village of Scarsdale.  I'm also hoping that in the future a 100% affordable assisted living facility can be built in our town. 
 
The Ambassador is a new assisted living facility in Scarsdale on Saxon Woods Road. The village required the Ambassador to make 4  units affordable---$2,372.50 per individual per month. A lottery is being held on April 20th. The complex will have a total of 115 units. Shared two bedroom suite with private bath. The basic package includes rental, utilities, 3 meals a day plus bistro snacks and beverages, weekly housekeeping, transportation to doctors’ offices, scheduling shopping and activities, medication ordering and monitoring for residents who can self administer, daily activities and supervised wellness programs.  
 
 
Eligibility Requirements: In order to qualify for the units, household income must be at or below 60 percent of the area median income for Westchester County based on HUD Income Guidelines. Assisted Living Unit Details:
Unit Type Quantity Basic Monthly Rate* Max Income (1 person)
Shared Two-bedroom 2 $2,372.50 per month $43,560
