Broome County's December median was $82,500, while Chemung was at $84,000 and Tioga was at $84,800. "We know that there are a lot of people who would like to live here but can't afford to and drive from other towns," said Ithaca Town Councilwoman and Deputy Supervisor Carolyn Grigorov. Renting isn't necessarily easier or cheaper. According to a study released last year by the Community Foundation of Tompkins County and the Tompkins County Chamber of Commerce, between 36 and 39.5 percent of county households were "cost burdened" as of 2000, meaning they spent more than one-third of their incomes on housing. The median income here is $37,272 according to the study and census data.

"There is a particular need for affordable housing for everyone," said Stacey Crawford, executive director of Better Housing for Tompkins County, but there is a particularly sensitive need for low-to moderate-income seniors who live on fixed incomes. The reality of what Crawford says may be seen in the growth of agencies devoted to tackling the many problems of affordable housing. There's her own agency, as well as Mutual Housing Association of Tompkins County, Ithaca Neighborhood Housing Services and several social service groups, including Catholic Charities.

Father Talbot faithfully served numerous congregations and the Episcopal Church Diocese of Central New i By ROGER DuPUIS II Journal Staff ITHACA Plans to build affordable housing for seniors adjacent to Linderman Creek underscores a dearth of quality, cost-effective housing that has been a growing problem locally in recent years.

Houses alone illustrate the trend. In December, the median selling price for existing single-family homes in Tompkins County was $164,000, up from $123,250 in December 2003, according to the New York State Association of Realtors. The November median house price here was double the $82,000 median in Cortland from the road, and represents an "incremental" addition to the existing complex. In another sign of changing times, Mclntyre was the lone resident to ask questions about the new senior housing when the issue was briefly discussed at a planning meeting last month. His question? He wanted to know if the development would be home to children or not.

The reason? He's among those concerned not so much about development pressures. Instead, he's thinking about how West Hill families will fare under the Ithaca City School District's anticipated redistricting plans, citing concerns about not having a neighborhood school. "With this recent development, I consider them now a part of West Hill," Mclntyre said.

Apartments will have washer-dryer hookups, balconies, and all would be handicapped adaptable.

But more than just affordable housing, they'd also offer independent living for seniors, according to Better Housing for Tompkins County Executive Director Stacey Crawford, whose agency is a partner with Conifer on the project. "In talking with the Office for The Aging, independent living facilities are something there'll be more of a need for, especially as the Baby Boomers age," Crawford said. Such facilities, she said, would allow seniors to live at their own pace, but with on-site assistance for some basic tasks, such as housekeeping. "I would hope it (the new complex) would serve as a model," Crawford said. Crawford said the new apart Obituaries ROBERTA M.

Including utility allowances, one-bedroom units would average $574 a month, while two-bedroom units would average $756 a month. The existing 152-unit apartment complex was developed in phases over the past five years, and was designed to provide affordable housing to low- and moderate-income families.

It's been common for the apartments to have a waiting list, even with expansions. The earlier developments, primarily the first Linderman property, proved controversial, as neighbors raised concerns about issues such as added traffic, impact on area schools and even a potential increase in crime generated by the development. The new project may face a smoother ride for several reasons, time and experience among them. "Initially, I don't think anyone really understood what was going in there. Now, I think people are more comfortable with it, really," said Robert Mclntyre, who lives on nearby Richard Place.
