Supervisors Goals 1999 Release Date: December 09, 20021. Habitat for Humanity: Turn over property at 77 Riverdale Ave. to Habitat for Humanity. Affordable home to go to resident of unincorporated Greenburgh/Fairview. Goal Accomplished
GREENBURGH HOUSE - Riverdale Avenue, Greenburgh Recently, Sonja Brown moved into her completed home to celebrate her New Year with her great family. This home, a former crack house, is on 77 Riverdale Avenue and is just beautiful. What was once a home strewn with crack viles, now shows the toys of her children, beautiful carpet and smiling faces. God Bless you Sonja and your family.
This little tidbit lifted from Paul's blog is sure to disappear quickly so I moved it here for discussion.

You might want to note that the Town's gift of the property to Habitat violates at least two important laws.
ReplyDeleteThe first is that the Town may not make a gift of public assets to a private organization.
Second, it is unconstitutional to mix government and religion. Habitat makes no secret about its evangelical Christian nature. Recipients of homes must pledge to lead good Christian lives. There is absolutely nothing wrong with requiring that pledge, but it is completely wrong for the Town to subsidize it.
I would like to know more about she came to be living in this house. Does anyone know? How did the town get away with donating it to Habitat and was Sonja slotted for the house at the time?
