Hillburn Affordable Housing Program

The dream of home ownership is the fabric of any community and Hillburn is no exception. The Village Board is committed to the idea of Affordable Housing as a means of keeping our "community" together. Current plans include a joint project with Habitat For Humanity to build (3) affordable homes on Fifth Street, between Hickory and Chestnut Avenues. The Village will purchase surplus property from the Ramapo Central School District with a grant secured from the Rockland County Office of Community Development.

In addition, the Village Board has cleared the way for H.O.G.A.R. (Housing Opportunities for Growth, Advancement and Revitalization), a Haverstraw based not for profit organization to purchase a lot on Sixth Street in the western portion of the village for Affordable Housing. Under the conditions established by the Village Board, H.O.G.A.R. will purchase the property, build an Affordable Home, then sell that home to a qualifying Hillburn resident. If for any reason H.O.G.A.R. is unable to build on the site, the Village of Hillburn may exercise the "right of first refusal" to purchase the property.
