A pair of Schenectady-based housing nonprofits have merged into a new organization that should be better positioned to help shepherd affordable housing projects and offer residents financial counseling and support, officials said.
The new Better Community Neighborhoods, Inc., is the product of the joining together of the Community Land Trust of Schenectady and Better Neighborhoods Inc., which scored state approval for the merger about a year ago.
By merging the two nonprofits, the new organization’s leaders said Better Community Neighborhoods will be more effective in coordinating affordable housing projects in Schenectady. The new organization can bring local expertise and knowledge to the table as they work with outside developers and look to connect different projects through a coordinated approach.
