NEW SENIOR HOUSING

Thank you for your interest in the new senior housing facility that is being built in tandem with The LOFT's new community center facility. Approximately 140 units of affordable senior housing that are LGBTQ+ Affirming will be part of a brand new building located in downtown White Plains, NY, located on the corner of Court and Quarropas Streets.

At the base of the building, occupying two floors will be The LOFT's brand new community center.

LOFT’s Silver Connections program is made possible by grants from the Westchester County Department of Senior Programs and Services, New York State Department of Health, New York State Office for Aging, and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
