Long‑time housing authority leader announces resignation after 26 years
Summary
A long‑serving commissioner and chair of the Greenburgh Housing Authority announced his resignation at the March 11 meeting after roughly 26 years of service, prompting board members to thank him for work on affordable housing expansion.
A speaker who identified himself throughout the meeting as “Bishop” told the town board he is resigning as commissioner and chair of the Greenburgh Housing Authority and the Greenburgh Housing Development Corporation after about 26 years of service, 18 of them as chair.
The commissioner said the housing portfolio had grown from about 256 units when he began to roughly 730 units today, and that expansion of affordable housing had been a primary focus of his work. He said age and family considerations drove his decision to step down and that he expects to remain in town until October before possibly relocating.
Board reaction: Elected officials and liaisons praised the commissioner’s leadership, noted his role in placing and mentoring current board members, and thanked him for decades of service to underprivileged residents. Supervisor Paul Feiner and other board members said they would miss his leadership and invited him to stay engaged as a community member.
What happens next: The speaker said he will likely remain in town through October; the board did not record a formal replacement process during the meeting. Officials said they will follow standard appointment procedures for any vacancy on the housing authority board.
