The Village of Croton-on-Hudson has been studying the possibility of adding occupational
preferences for new affordable housing units to the Village Code for some time. The
occupations that were studied were those in the emergency services industry, medical
services industry and veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces.
Working in tandem with the Pace Land Use Law Center and the Housing Action Council,
data from the American Community Survey was analyzed. The data determined that the
subject occupations are majority-minority (approximately 54% being a race other than
white in Westchester, and 72% being a race other than white in the nine-county area).
Based on the data, Local Law Introductory No. 5 of 2026 has been drafted to amend
Chapter 230, Zoning, of the Village Code to enact these occupational preferences.
