CHI, a non-profit agency that serves homeless and low-income families in Westchester County, will honor Wilder at its 10th Anniversary Celebration & Awards Dinner, which will take place at the Broadway Manor in White Plains at 6 p.m.

Wilder Balter Partners of Elmsford has developed more than 2,400 units of affordable housing in Westchester, Connecticut and Long Island.

"Bob Wilder has been a quiet dynamo of affordable housing development," says Alexander Roberts, executive director of CHI. "Bob Wilder has demonstrated that a real estate developer can successfully meet bottom-line requirements of profitability and achieve a top-line goal to provide decent, affordable housing for the local workforce. He is the epitome of a businessman who puts his money where his heart is."

In August of this year, Wilder Balter Partners and the Regional Economic Community Action Council cut the ribbon on the $12 million Stone Hill Apartments development, a 104-unit senior affordable housing complex in Washingtonville (Orange County).

The firm has a host of senior housing and affordable housing projects in the region including two ventures that began construction in 2001 -- Hughson Commons, an $11.7 million, 94-unit senior complex in Carmel (Putnam County) and Brookview Gardens, a $28 million, 208-unit senior community in Babylon (Long Island).

The company is also pursuing approvals for "Woodcrest at Leonard Park" in Mount Kisco, a senior housing community that will feature more than 150 units of rental housing.

The guest speaker at the CHI Awards Dinner will be former New York Giants running back Ottis Anderson, the NFL's 12th all-time leading rusher and Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl XXV.

CHI, whose mission is to provide homeless and low-income families with the housing and human services that allow them to become self-sufficient, productive citizens, has developed scattered site apartments instead of shelters. The agency has helped thousands of families find permanent, affordable housing in Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk counties. CHI owns and manages approximately 500 apartments for homeless and low-income families in Westchester County and Long Island. It also administers more than $100,000 a month in down-payment assistance grants to first time homebuyers.
