The year-round Emergency Shelter provides temporary shelter for up to 31 people at the Walworth Street facilities in Saratoga Springs. The congregate-style shelter offers a safe, home-like environment for guests while they work toward financial, health, and housing stability. Critical to a person’s success is self-determination combined with 24 hours/day staff support. Guests work with a case manager to develop a housing plan that addresses their individual needs and forms the foundation for which independent living can be sustained. (Partially funded by the Local Department of Social Services, private foundations and contributors; and nightly shelter rent if able).
