“Zombie Homes” Consortium Makes Progress

At its third meeting, the “Zombie Homes” consortium created by the Town Board just two months ago is closing in on a possible purchase of an abandoned and foreclosed home that can be rehabbed into an affordable home for first-time homebuyers. .  HTHC serves on this consortium, along with Councilwomen Tracey Edwards and Susan Berland, representatives of the LI Housing Partnership, the Community Development Corporation of LI, the Huntington Community Development Corporation, Housing Help and others.  The LI Housing Partnership is taking the lead in this project.  We hope this will be a prototype for other abandoned/foreclosed homes in Huntington becoming rehabilitated, affordable homes.
