"This location seemed an ideal place for our administrative offices, as it will bring us closer to the people we serve," said Michael Lundy, President and CEO of SPHA.

The $1 million grant from FHLBNY's Affordable Housing Program was secured through the sponsorship of Valley Bank.

The planned redevelopment of the former Edward White Hospital is another way that SPHA is working to create opportunities for stronger communities. The project is expected to break ground on construction in the first quarter of 2024.
