Westchester County stands to lose an estimated $7.4 million in federal HUD funding for failing to comply with the terms of the Fair and Affordable Housing Settlement. In a letter to County Executive Rob Astorino dated March 25, 2013, HUD Director of Planning and Development Vincent Hom chides the county for failing to provide “a satisfactory plan to overcome exclusionary zoning practices” or providing a plan to promote sources of income legislation that would bar landlords from discriminating against tenants who use Section 8 vouchers or other government income to pay their rent.

Tony Fransetta, the FARA president, predicted the problem would get worse as more of us aged.
By 2030, he said, one in five Americans would be over 55-years-old.
