Specialized Support Services
We provide outreach, care management, and support services for youth, veterans, the homeless, and other special needs populations.
Strengthen Communities
We work with residents and stakeholders to create communities of opportunity for all. We revitalize neighborhoods and increase affordable housing through new construction and property rehabilitation.
Economic Development
We create pathways to meaningful work in a supportive environment. We run social enterprises that provide job training opportunities to youth and adults.
Hector
Hector was separated from his parents at a young age, and had a rough childhood. He spent time in prison, was homeless for a period, and suffered from substance abuse. At age 44, Hector decided to start over. He was hired by Hudson River Housing first for a position at Webster House Shelter, and then eventually promoted to a supervisory role. A few years ago Hector and his wife began the process of buying their first home, a dream he never thought would be possible to achieve. With assistance from Hudson River Housing’s NeighborWorks HomeOwnership Center of Dutchess County, they were able to purchase a beautiful 3 bedroom duplex home in the City of Poughkeepsie.
“I’ll tell you, Hudson River Housing gave me a house. I was homeless – A house. I am forever grateful.”
