Join us this week as we speak with Larry Beilenson, Board Co-Chair of Westchester Residential Opportunities (WRO) and son of the late founder, Nick Beilenson.
Larry shares the story behind WRO’s founding in 1968, the urgent need for federal investment to address the affordable housing crisis, the growing homelessness problem, and how looming budget cuts to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) could dramatically worsen the situation. Plus, hear about WRO’s upcoming fundraiser. Listen in!
