Organizations putting people before profits help fill in housing gaps<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Tim Rowland<\/em><\/p>\n

At the end of the day when they would leave their jobs at Saranac Lake\u2019s Trudeau Institute, Carrie and William White dragged their feet at the thought of going home to their small apartment. Any offer of going out or stopping at a friend\u2019s instead was readily accepted.<\/p>\n

They had good jobs with solid pay, but nothing like they needed to afford a home in the Lake Placid area, and the apartment was a constant reminder that the dream of homeownership was out of reach.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a feeling that we were just going to be stuck renting for life,\u201d William said.<\/p>\n

And then they got the call. Homestead Development, a Lake Placid nonprofit, was on the line telling them their application for a townhouse had been accepted. They were going to be part of the new\u00a0Fawn Valley development<\/a>\u00a0on Wesvalley Road .<\/p>\n

One of the first families to move in, today nothing can keep them from charging straight home after work.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had gotten a little bit down, but then we kind of just accepted that maybe (homeownership) is just not for us,\u201d\u00a0 Carrie said. \u201cAnd then when we got the news, we just looked at each other like, \u2018This is really happening for us.\u2019 And so now we can\u2019t wait to come home.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the Adirondacks, the Whites\u2019 story is becoming increasingly typical. Middle-class housing is by necessity sidestepping the traditional vectors of real estate listings and homebuilders, which have become the domain of pricey vacation homes and the short-term rental market.<\/p>\n
