WOODSTOCK, N.Y. â Town officials are being asked to support the Woodstock Community Homes project as a way to close the affordable housing gap for working residents who have to spend excessive amounts of their income on a place to live.
The problem was discussed during a video conference Town Board meeting Tuesday, with a Housing Committee member noting that a survey is being conducted through Jan. 15 to help match willing homeowners with potential renters.
âOver 40 percent of Woodstockers pay more than they should be paying, which is an average of 30 percent of their income,â committee member Kirk Ritchey said.
