About A-Home

A-HOME was founded in 1985 by volunteers who saw a need for permanent affordable housing for seniors and disabled individuals in northern Westchester.The early staff, all volunteer, has been gradually replaced by professional staff whose work is supplemented by volunteer activities.

In 1985 inspiration came from the Nehemiah Project, an exciting concept that had sprung up in Brooklyn. Faith based organizations in East Brooklyn had joined together to help solve the area’s problems and affordable housing was one of their targets. With the Nehemiah Project as their blueprint, Joan Arnold and Peg Normann brought together community groups, churches, and synagogues to take on the housing challenge. Joan and Peg started with shared housing, the most economical model of affordable housing.
