“I, along with the members of the Common Council are pleased that Community Housing Innovations is continuing its journey in the City of White Plains. The City of White Plains is proud of its leadership in the development of affordable housing and grateful for its partnership with CHI. I congratulate and wish the CHI team the best of luck in its new space as they continue to provide critical services for the residents of the City of White Plains and Westchester County,” said White Plains mayor Tom Roach.

Gibbons said, “Safe, affordable housing is fundamental to a strong and resilient local economy.
