Last week I had an opportunity to meet some of the staff of Westchester Residential Opportunities Inc.
It was a great pleasure to talk with these ladies who are caring and compassionate individuals committed to help every person who walks through their doors.
I wanted to share their information with my readers and spread the word, that housing help is available in Westchester.

Help for those with limited means and/or challenges
