NHS – OPENING THE DOORS OF HOMEOWNERSHIP FOR 35 YEARS

Rep. Pat Dillon presented Neighborhood Housing Services of New Haven with an official legislative citation honoring their 35 years of promoting homeownership in New Haven.

“Neighborhood Housing Services has played a critical role in restoring New Haven's neighborhoods,” Rep. Dillon said.

• NHS acquires vacant, abandoned, and blighted houses
• NHS transforms them into completely restored, energy-efficient homes for homebuyers.
• NHS has restored properties in the Dwight and West River neighborhoods of the 92nd district.

To provide critical financing for NHS to restore homes and encourage investment in New Haven., Rep Dillon has worked with NHS Executive Director James Paley, advocating for expanded Historic Tax Credits targeted to low income cities, and for raising the cap on the Neighborhood Assistance Act. Such dollars upgrade housing stock in transitional neighborhoods, encourage home ownership, and create jobs that stay in the community.
