BOL approves county’s 1st LGBTQ+ friendly affordable housing complex

A new affordable senior housing development is coming to White Plains following a vote of 17-0 by the Board of Legislators on Monday night. This project has been in the works for nearly two decades, and with the lease agreement now formally approved by the county legislature, the project is finally moving forward.

The property at 143 Grand St. was purchased by the county in 2000. It is partially occupied by the County’s Board of Elections, though most of the property has remained vacant for years. The new development will transform the property into a beautiful and functional affordable housing complex.

Legislator Ben Boykin said, “As someone who is intimately familiar with this property, first as a White Plains City Councilman and now

as a County Legislator, I am thrilled to see this project finally come to fruition. Creating safe and inclusive spaces for our seniors is crucial in guaranteeing that they are able to age with dignity and respect.”

A corporation formed by HANAC, Inc. and Monadnock Development LLC, will construct the new apartment complex called Court Street Residences on the southwesterly corner of Court and Quarropas Streets. It will consist of at least 140 residential units for applicants aged 55 and older. The facility will be all-electric and will incorporate green technology, making it environmentally friendly and sustainable. It will also feature a range of amenities such as parking, community rooms, an exercise room, on-site laundry, a computer room, and medical/hospital offices

with significant programs for seniors. These services will provide a good quality living environment for future residents.

The units will be subject to affordability restrictions for the entire term of the lease, which can be up to 95 years. The new development will also set aside a portion of the units for households with incomes at or below 80% and 60% of the area median income (AMI), as defined by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. This will secure housing for seniors who need it most.

Housing affordability affects households of all backgrounds and demographics, but the elderly and individuals who identify as LGBTQ+ are statistically more

DA Rocah said: “Grandparent scams are a nationwide trend that target and abuse the love and generosity of our most vulnerable by impersonating a relative or friend in need of immediate access to financial assistance. Before sending any money, make every attempt to find out where the family member or friend is and whether the claimed emergency is real, and report any suspicious activity to law enforcement. I am committed to protecting our senior population from those who seek to take advantage and manipulate them.”

The following defendants were each arrested and charged in connection with a “grandparent scam” in Westchester County:

• Following a joint investigation with the Economic Crimes Bureau of the District Attorney’s Office, the City of Rye Police Department arrested Jorge Duche, 32, of Port Chester, on April 18, 2023, for allegedly posing as a bail bondsman to collect $9,500 from a 78-year-old in October 2022. After receiving the cash, the defendant then placed the money in a duffle bag before leaving in a taxi. The incident was captured on video. It is alleged the victim received a phone call from a separate individual purporting to be her grandchild, claiming they had been arrested and in need of bail money. The defendant was charged with Criminal Possession of Stolen Property in the Third Degree, a felony. He was arraigned in Rye City Court and remanded.

• Following a joint investigation with the Greenburgh Drug and Alcohol Task Force and the Westchester County Department of Public Safety’s Real Time Crime Center, the Hastings-on-Hudson Police Department arrested Manuel Alfonso Sosacastillo, 28, of Elizabeth, New Jersey, on April 19, 2023, for allegedly stealing $6,900 from a 90-year-old on February 24, 2023. It is alleged the victim received two phone calls – the first from an individual claiming to be the victim’s grandchild that had been in an accident, and a second, purportedly from

an attorney claiming that money was needed to post bail for the grandchild. The defendant was charged with Grand Larceny in the Third Degree, a felony, and arraigned in Hastings-on-Hudson Justice Court.

• The Tarrytown Police Department, with assistance from the Greenburgh Drug and Alcohol Task Force, arrested Miguel Sosa, 33, of the Bronx, on April 19, 2023, for allegedly attempting to steal $1,500 from a 76-year-old. It is alleged the victim received two phone calls – the first from an individual purporting to be the victim’s relative that had been in an accident, and a second, purportedly from a public defender advising the victim that payment was required for her relative’s release from jail. The defendant was charged with Attempted Grand Larceny in the Fourth Degree, a misdemeanor, and arraigned in Tarrytown Justice Court.

• The New Rochelle Police Department arrested Roger Mena-Carrion, 28, of the Bronx, on April 20, 2023, for allegedly attempting to steal $15,500 from a 79-year-old after falsely notifying the victim that her friend was arrested and needed bail money. The defendant was charged with Attempted Grand Larceny in the Third Degree, a felony, and arraigned in New Rochelle City Court on April 21, 2023.

The District Attorney reinforced some vital tips on avoiding scammers:

• Beware of any unknown person asking for money or wiring of cash with a sense of urgency and secrecy, requesting personal and financial information over the phone, or requesting gift card purchases to pay a debt or fee.

• Do not respond to unsolicited offers of help and money; never share personal information like date of birth, social security number, bank account information, PIN, passwords, credit card information with unknown persons or companies.

• Be wary of door-to-door sales and solicitations.

• Pause before acting immediately and always consult someone you trust. Anyone who believes they or someone they know to be a victim of a scam is urged to call your local police department. Complaints can also be filed directly with the Westchester County District Attorney’s Office at (914) 995-TIPS (8477) or online at www.westchesterda. net/contact-us/complaint-form. Language assistance is available.

likely to experience discrimination and harassment as a result of housing affordability. The population is also less likely to have children or other family members to help meet their needs as they age, further exacerbating the crisis.

The LOFT: LGBT Community Services Center will also be leasing space at the new mixed-use development. They will coordinate outreach to the eligible LGBTQ+ seniors and assist them with applying for the available units. This ensures that the new development will be an inclusive community that meets the needs of all seniors.

Judy Troilo, Executive Director for The LOFT, said, “There was a time in our history, in the not-so-distant past, when mem-

bers of the LGBTQ+ community weren’t living long enough to need senior housing. There was also so much fear associated with identifying as LGBTQ+ publicly. This housing today is a symbol of how far we have come. Granted, we still have a long way to go, but this is a tremendous day. Our long-standing goal of providing Westchester’s LGBTQ+ elders with safe, affordable, and affirming housing has arrived! In addition, our brand-new center will include space for our growing programs, and a home for a partner provider to offer medical and mental health services specifically to LGBTQ+ individuals and families here in Westchester County. Having all these incredible services under one roof is truly groundbreaking and will no doubt become a model for others to follow nationally.”

The event, which is back in-person for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began, was emceed by actor Kevin Kilner and featured signature cuisine prepared by the finest chefs in the area, accompanied by a wide assortment of fine wines, specialty cocktails and craft beers.

“The funds raised at A Matter of Taste are critical for ensuring people with developmental disabilities have access to a suite of innovative services and enjoy a high quality of life,” said Nancy Patota, executive director of The Arc Westchester Foundation. “We are grateful to the generous sponsors and donors for their support of this event, and to the 23 chefs and 5 beverage sponsors who treated our guests to an evening of fine food paired with fine wine and craft beer.”

A whirlwind spring

pect it to be each year, rattling off five impressive winds to head into the last few weeks of the season looking like a true threat.

I don’t know why it continues to sneak up on me, but every year— around the beginning of May—I start to wonder where the time went.

The fact that there are just over two weeks left for most sports in the Spring 2023 regular season, means one thing; the school year is almost at an end. As usual, I’m wondering how the passage of time snuck up on me.

And the strange thing is, looking at the way things have unfolded this spring, it seems as though some teams have seen multiple seasons—and incredible runs—all rolled into a few short weeks.

Take the Mamaroneck boys lacrosse squad, which—as of April 8—looked like a team struggling to find its identity, having lost four straight games. Since that point?

The Tigers look like the Section 1 championship contender most ex -

And what about the New Rochelle baseball team, which had just two wins as of last week, rattling off four wins in a six-day stretch—all those victories coming against teams .500 or better at game time—to climb back into contention in the Class AA landscape.

It just shows you that as short as the season might be, there’s plenty of time for new storylines and wrinkles to emerge.

Of course, some teams have been—predictably—dominant from the outset. Harrison and Rye Neck softball, both undefeated at press time, fit in these categories as the two squads have mowed down the competition since the outset of the season. For squads on those kinds of runs, the end of the season can’t come soon enough—they’re playing well and want to translate their success thus far into winning meaningful

May games.

So what’s next for this last stretch of the year? It’s tough to say. Winning streaks can start or end, injuries and other factors can dramatically alter the postseason

landscape, and if the first few weeks of the season have proved anything, it’s that high school sports are in a constant state of flux.

So don’t blink, or you just might

miss it. And if you do, it’s going to be a long few months before we’re back in the thick of it.

Rye patience key in John Jay win

Game Notes

• Kian McCarthy scored his 100th career point

• Rye had 4 players with 2 goals

• The Garnets will play Harrison on 4/29

By MIKE SMITH Sports Editor

The Rye lacrosse team came into their April 20 game against John Jay looking to wipe away the taste of a tough loss to Scarsdale from earlier in the week. They did just that, dominating a potential playoff foe and earning a 10-4 win in the process.

Four different Garnets scored multiple goals in Thursday’s win, as Kian McCarthy, Tyler McDermott, Andrew Keller, and Garrett Sullivan all found the net twice. According to McCarthy, that unselfishness marked an improvement for the Garnets.

“I think it came down to being more patient,” said McCarthy. “We weren’t rushing, and that helped us to get better chances.”

The Garnets’ offense was

able to play with confidence, in part, because of the stellar play of goalie Ty Ramachandran, who posted over 20 saves in net. Ramachandran has been a stalwart for the Garnets this year, and McCarthy was quick to credit the sophomore with having a huge hand in the successes this year.

“He’s a leader, he’s so vocal and he really tells the

defense where everyone is supposed to be,” said McCarthy. “He had some unbelievable saves today and that gave us momentum.”

McCarthy hit a personal milestone on Thursday, as a second half goal marked 100 career points, a number he said was sweeter because of the victory.

“Obviously it’s more special to get the goal in a win,”

he said. “That’s the most important thing.”

The victory was especially important considering the fact that the Garnets were coming off an 8-5 loss to Class AA power Scarsdale on Saturday, as Rye was able to recalibrate its mindset and come out strong against the Wolves. McCarthy said that it’s important for his squad to shake off external noise as

they enter the final stretch of the regular season.

“I think we came into the season feeling the pressure of the expectations that people put on us because we’re a Rye lacrosse team,” he said. “But if we’re going to be successful, we need to be able to block that out, come out, and have fun playing; and that’s what we did today.”

The Garnets, now 5-3 will be back in action on Saturday evening, when they travel to Harrison to take on the rival Huskies (1-7). Next week, they’ll take on a trio of tough teams when they square off against Somers (5-4), Eastchester (6-3) and Yorktown (3-4).
