Pam & Joe Honored as Heroes at CHI 25th Anniversary
Pam and Joe Moshé have continually made it their mission to give back to the neighborhoods that they serve. In doing so, they spend a considerable amount of time on charitable endeavors, including their support for Community Housing Innovations, Inc. (CHI), for which they were honored as the inaugural “CHI Heroes” during the organization’s 25th Anniversary Celebration at the Melville Marriot on Thursday, October 19.
With five children and nine grandchildren, Pam and Joe know what it takes to care for a family in today’s society. It was Pam and Joe’s love for family that first drew them to CHI’s mission of ensuring that low- and moderate-income families across Long Island and Westchester have a safe place to sleep at night. Both companies have made it their mission to help as many people as they can in achieving the American Dream of owning a home. Like CHI, Charles Rutenberg Realty, Inc. (CRR) is in the business of helping make homeownership a reality for many.

Tax Plan Should Also Include Local and State Tax Deduction to Benefit Homeowners
Joe Moshé says that he is relieved that the mortgage interest deduction was retained in President Donald J. Trump’s proposed tax plan, but the deduction for state and local taxes — in particular, Real Estate taxes — is huge for homeowners in highly taxed areas such as Long Island.
According to ATTOM Data Solutions, New York State is one of the top 10 states with the highest property taxes and Nassau County is currently one of nine counties in the nation where property taxes exceed $10,000 a year. New York is also eighth with the highest marginal individual income tax rates among all 50 states, according to The Tax Foundation.
