On Wednesday, May 6th, 2026, funders, legislators, residents, and community partners braved the rain to gather in the Hamlet of Highland in the Town of Lloyd to celebrate the ribbon cutting of Silver Gardens ✂️✨
This brand new $22 million senior housing development represents an investment in safe, affordable housing for older adults, offering 57 one-bedroom apartments for seniors 62 and older, nearly half of which include supportive housing with case management services funded through the Empire State Supportive Housing Initiative (ESSHI). The remaining apartments offer affordable rental opportunities for seniors living on fixed incomes.
