View Full Caption DNAinfo/Linze Rice EDGEWATER — The contractor hired to remove years worth of asbestos from the abandoned Edgewater Medical Center said his company halted work after not being compensated by developers.  "We stopped work because we were not paid," Daniel Suchta, owner of DDS Environmental, told DNAinfo.

Heather Smith says affordable housing isn 't always affordable. The single mother of two said when her $880-per-month rent in southeast Rochester jumped by $85 in the second year, it left her struggling to pay for rent and food, even though she has good job at Zumbro Valley Health Center . "Why am I not able to afford the basics I need to live?" she asked during Tuesday's community meeting held by CURE — Communities United for Rochester's Empowerment — a social action group affiliated with SEIU Healthcare.

The Stonebridge Housing Tax Credit property is a type of regulated affordable housing serving low - and very-low- income households on fixed, i.e. Social Security, or lower incomes between 50 percent and not to exceed 60 percent of the Napa County area median income (AMI).

The current rent schedule is the following: • A one-bedroom unit at 50 percent AMI is $420, or $768 at 60 percent; • Two-bedroom unit, $469 to $918; • Three-bedroom unit, $514 ...
