Mission Statement
Hudson River Housing improves lives and communities through housing with compassion and development with vision.
We are dedicated to building strong, sustainable communities by developing and preserving quality affordable housing and helping families and individuals obtain and maintain housing through education, advocacy and support services. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to live in safe, affordable housing that meets their needs, regardless of income, family makeup, race or ethnicity, physical or mental health issues, or any other defining factors.
We work towards inclusive neighborhood revitalization by leveraging affordable housing and community building as critical tools, creating long-term opportunity for individuals and families and building greater socio-economic resilience in the City of Poughkeepsie and throughout Dutchess County and the greater Hudson Valley.
What drives our staff, donors and volunteers is a passion to create affordable homes for all and to instill the sense of pride and achievement that comes from having a home of your own and being part of a vibrant community.
Our work extends throughout the Hudson Valley, where we assist people of all ages and communities of all types and sizes. As long as people need a place to call home and long for a sense of community, our work will continue.
MISSION
Hudson River Housing provides a continuum of services that improves lives and communities through housing with compassion and development with vision. We create pathways out of homelessness through empowerment, education, and advocacy. We strengthen communities by developing and preserving affordable housing and creating opportunities for people and places to thrive.
VISION
We envision a world without homelessness, where everyone has the opportunity to live in safe, affordable housing that meets their needs, regardless of income, family makeup, race or ethnicity, physical or mental health illness, or any other defining factors. We envision a world where there is sufficient affordable housing available for all, and where communities, including their residents and governing bodies, understand and value safe, affordable, and well-designed housing and neighborhoods as essential to everyday life.
VALUES
Our work is guided by the values of compassion, empathy, transparency, and inclusivity. We approach every individual with care and understanding, striving to meet their unique needs with dignity and respect. By fostering trust and maintaining openness in all we do, we ensure accountability to our community and those we serve.
