BETHLEHEM, N.Y. (WRGB) — The grand opening of the long-awaited Hudson on Nine affordable housing unit in Bethlehem took place on Thursday. It’s focused on veterans and their families.
The building offers 72 housing units and supportive services, including for disabled veterans facing homelessness.
The project is funded by the state’s five-year, $25 billion housing plan, which puts a heavy focus on sustainable housing, including an all-electric building.
“It’s so important that we continue to prioritize them with housing and caring for them such that we pay that debt of gratitude that we owe to all of them,” said Sen. Pat Fahy, D–Albany. “So it’s housing that we’ve got to address on all levels.”
In only three months of operation, the Hudson on Nine complex has been rented to full capacity as of the end of last month.
