Some one-time grant funding has made the difference between renters in rural New York having a safe place to live - or having to move.
The McNeil Park Apartments, in Copenhagen, is an income-based complex for seniors and adults with disabilities. When it was purchased in 2020 by the Copenhagen Happy Acres Housing Fund, McNeil Park was in a state of disrepair.
But Snow Belt Housing Company, which manages the complex, applied for a Covid-19 Community Development Block Grant.
Snow Belt Executive Director Jaylyn Heames described what would have happened had the grant not come through.
