Local housing information for Yonkers

Local housing resources

MHA Yonkers' directory (https://www.mhacy.org/mhacy-properties/) displayed 22 cards when reviewed September 29, 2026: 15 RAD Property, four Affordable Housing and three Public Housing. Twenty-one describe housing leads; Cottage Place Gardens is a redevelopment reference, NOT an additional rentable property. Its detail page (https://www.mhacy.org/directory/listing/cottage-place-gardens) explicitly says the original 1945-era buildings have been replaced and old units are no longer available for rental. It directs applicants for 188 Warburton Avenue, School House Terrace and The Villas at the Ridgeway to The Ridgeway Apartments. Do not count the former Cottage Place units as an opening or add a duplicate building card for the redevelopment name. The 21 active directory cards are 188 Warburton Avenue (Affordable Housing; https://www.mhacy.org/directory/listing/188-warburton-avenue); Andrew Smith Townhouses (RAD Property; https://www.mhacy.org/directory/listing/andrew-smith-townhouses); Curran Court Homes (RAD Property; https://www.mhacy.org/directory/listing/curran-court-homes); Dr. James O’Rourke Townhouses (RAD Property; https://www.mhacy.org/directory/listing/dr-james-orourke-townhouses); Francis Reagan Townhouses (RAD Property; https://www.mhacy.org/directory/listing/francis-reagan-townhouses); Grant Park I (Affordable Housing; https://www.mhacy.org/directory/listing/grant-park-i); Hon. A.J. Doran Sr. Townhouses (RAD Property; https://www.mhacy.org/directory/listing/hon-a-j-doran-sr-townhouses); James E. Hall Homes (RAD Property; https://www.mhacy.org/directory/listing/james-e-hall-homes); John E. Flynn Manor (RAD Property; https://www.mhacy.org/directory/listing/john-e-flynn-manor); Joseph F. Loehr Court (Public Housing; https://www.mhacy.org/directory/listing/joseph-f-loehr-court); Judge Albert Fiorillo Townhouses (RAD Property; https://www.mhacy.org/directory/listing/judge-albert-fiorillo-townhouses); Kris Kristensen Homes (RAD Property; https://www.mhacy.org/directory/listing/kris-kristensen-homes); Lawrence Christopher Townhouses (RAD Property; https://www.mhacy.org/directory/listing/lawrence-christopher-townhouses); Martinelli Manor (RAD Property; https://www.mhacy.org/directory/listing/martinelli-manor); Msgr. Cajetan J. Troy Manor (RAD Property; https://www.mhacy.org/directory/listing/msgr-cajetan-j-troy-manor); Palisade Towers (RAD Property; https://www.mhacy.org/directory/listing/palisade-towers); Park Vista Apartments at Croton Heights (Affordable Housing; https://www.mhacy.org/directory/listing/park-vista-apartments-at-croton-heights); Raleigh Valentine Townhouses (RAD Property; https://www.mhacy.org/directory/listing/raleigh-valentine-townhouses); Ross F. Calcagno Homes (Public Housing; https://www.mhacy.org/directory/listing/ross-f-calcagno-homes); School House Terrace (Affordable Housing; https://www.mhacy.org/directory/listing/school-house-terrace); William A. Walsh Homes (RAD Property; https://www.mhacy.org/directory/listing/william-a-walsh-homes). Several cards describe a multi-building group using one reference address. MHA's March 2025 property photo sheet (https://www.mhacy.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/MHACY-Photos-of-Properties.pdf) gives broader street ranges for Palisade Towers, Hall Homes, Loehr Court, Calcagno Homes, Grant Park, Ridgeway, Walsh Homes and Curran Court; it also describes the seven townhouse cards under a shared “Seven Townhomes” program. See individual cards for group-level address and bedroom conflicts. The directory does not give a phone or vacancy for each site; ask MHA (general office 914-793-8400) or the property's own manager for current details. MHA's housing-programs page (https://www.mhacy.org/housing-programs) says its privately developed affordable properties are privately managed and use site-based lists requiring applications at each property. Its separate waiting-list page (https://www.mhacy.org/waiting-list) still has an “Open” heading but states the listed PBV/public-housing pre-application window closed March 28, 2025 at 11:59 PM ET. That dated notice cannot establish an open 2026 list or an apartment vacancy. It gave Admissions assistance at 914-793-3247; verify the number and current intake directly. The directory labels Loehr Court and Calcagno Homes Public Housing while the dated notice labels the same groups PBV, and it lists disputed address ranges for Walsh Homes. Do not extend one program's screening or old status to all sites. No individual felony-related approval is confirmed.
