DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST: (state briefly why legislative action is requested)
Local Social Service districts are required to provide temporary shelter to homeless individuals and families. Therefore, authorization is requested to renew an agreement with the Altamont Program, Inc. to provide emergency and transitional shelter in motel-like rooms at the Schuyler Inn (located at 575 Broadway in Menands, NY) for homeless households (women and families) on a room and board basis. Case management is provided to facilitate family/individual placement in permanent housing or other approved congregate facilities.
Between January 1st - October 1st, 2025, 124 homeless households were served at the Schuyler Inn.
