Franklin Courts Survey

As previously discussed at prior meetings, WBPD and its partner, Duverney + Brooks, working with the Tarrytown Municipal Housing Authority (TMHA), are working together to modernize Franklin Towers and Franklin Courts. 
 
Pursuant to HUD requirements for the TMHA Modernization projects, current residents have protected rights. All residents in good standing will have a right to return. The property will remain affordable – all residents pay 30% of their household income.
