According to Governor Hochul’s announcement, this project funding is designed to provide housing for individuals, families, veterans, the frail elderly, survivors of domestic violence, and those living with serious mental illness and/or substance use disorders.

Creating new supportive housing, which combines affordable housing and services, is a fundamental part of our work to address the housing and homelessness crisis in our state. This investment will help families and individuals who have experienced homelessness across our state remain stably housed while supporting strong neighborhoods and a brighter future for all New Yorkers. – New York State Governor Kathy Hochul

 

Southern Tier of New York to Benefit From The Award

In the Southern Tier of New York,  $8.3 million is earmarked for the Greater Opportunities for Broome and Chenango, Incorporated. The award will fund substantial rehabilitation and new construction of two residential buildings in Binghamton that will preserve 14 existing units and provide 7 new units of permanent supportive housing and a total of 69 beds across the two three-story buildings in the City of Binghamton.

On behalf of Greater Opportunities for Broome and Chenango, we are incredibly thankful to HHAP for the recent award that will fund the renovation and expansion of two of our properties in Binghamton, New York. This support is instrumental in making our vision a reality. Without the backing of funders like HHAP, the battle against homelessness would be nearly impossible. We are excited to see the positive impact these improvements will have on our community and the lives of those we serve. – Mark Silvanic, Chief Executive Officer, Greater Opportunities for Broome and Chenango

The announcement from Governor Hochul notes that the Griswold Street Apartments will transition from natural gas to fully electric building systems, providing heat and central air conditioning.
