Vincent's Village

Vincent’s Village is a new housing development that addresses the need of affordable, supportive, and energy-efficient housing for seniors in Rockland County. The $42 million affordable and supportive housing development is located in the village of Nanuet in Rockland County. Supported with $21.9 million in financing from New York State Homes and Community Renewal, the development has 93 affordable homes with on-site health and wellness services for adults age 55 and older.

Located on Convent Road, the development also includes two buildings that house a fitness room, laundry room, community rooms and Vinny's Café -a custom-designed communal space sponsored by the Sisters of Charity Housing Development Corporation. Support services for all residents include health monitoring, care coordination and case management, counselling, and social activities.

Vincent's Village has energy-efficient features that include high efficiency heating, cooling and ventilation equipment; Energy Star-rated appliances and lighting, and low-flow plumbing fixtures. The construction also makes use of ZIP System wall sheathing for durable, energy efficient weatherization. Its building design and construction achieved Gold Certification in Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design by the U.S. Green Building Council. The project is also optimally located close to public transportation, decreasing the need for lengthy car trips into town. The on-site health and supportive services also decrease the need to commute elsewhere for these services.

NY State governor Kathy Hochul said of the project, "This is an example of what can be achieved when a faith-based community, the state and private sector devote their energy and expertise to a development that will enhance the lives of our fellow New Yorkers who need a place to live independently and with dignity. This new community in Rockland allows residents to reside in beautiful surroundings with supportive services available if they need them."
