Understanding the Homelessness Crisis in the Hudson Valley (Sponsored)

During Homelessness Awareness Month Poughkeepsie-based Hudson River Housing works to increase transparency around housing insecurity in the region

As the region's property values continue to rise, it’s not just people in urban areas who don’t have access to affordable housing. The pandemic has only exacerbated the problem, but it has also started to wake people up to just how little affordable housing is currently available.
