IFCA

Organized in 1968 by community members, today IFCA provides a range of affordable housing development, property management and supportive services to low and moderate income people. IFCA owns and manages affordable apartments in Ossining and Tarrytown NY. It is also a pioneer in the development of transitional housing for the homeless, currently maintaining 16 units through Westchester County’s Emergency Housing Apartment Program (EHAP). IFCA's professional staff provides property management services including tenant selection, lease-ups, rent collections and after-hour emergency service. Two staff social workers provide case management and other supportive services to tenants.

In addition to developing and managing affordable rental housing, IFCA has also taken on innovative community service programs to help hundreds of people, beyond its tenant base. For example, we offer a free income tax preparation service and financial workshops for low-wage workers. Our Family Self Sufficiency program includes counseling and referral services for eligible families who are decreasing their dependency on subsidies. For children, IFCA offers camp scholarships, back to school clothes, a safe outdoor play space initiative, food backpacks and holiday toy drives. IFCA also runs a neighborhood thrift shop, selling gently used clothing and household items donated by people in the community.
