RUPCO'S MONTHLY NEWSLETTER | OCTOBER 2024

 
 

Introducing the Wellness Hub

In partnership with the Greenburger Center for Social and Criminal Justice, the City of Hudson, and Columbia County, RUPCO is thrilled to develop the Wellness Hub, a mixed-use project in Greenport addressing the urgent housing and support needs of vulnerable individuals. The Wellness Hub will feature approximately 25 Safe Haven Shelter units, 35 permanent supportive apartments, and up to 14 temporary beds for short-term stays, offering housing and case management to individuals experiencing homelessness, mental illness, substance use disorder, and/or reentry from incarceration. In addition, the 5-acre campus will include a Welcome Center that will connect individuals to key services. The project will be designed with trauma-informed and sustainable principles, creating a secure, welcoming environment for healing and recovery.

Another success, thanks to RESTORE 

In this recent round of RESTORE funding, RUPCO assisted Ulster County senior homeowners with essential emergency repairs, ensuring they can continue living safely and comfortably in their homes. One of the homeowners we helped was Rochelle, who needed a new water pump.

We're grateful to Rochelle for sharing her story, and we want to give a massive shout-out to our amazing rehab department for their hard work and dedication!
