$4.2 million will go to develop supportive housing in Ithaca.

Governor Kathy Hochul has announced that Steuben Churchpeople Against Poverty (dba Arbor Housing Development) will use the money to construct 20 permanent supportive housing units. The proposed Stately Apartments will feature laundry facilities, a community room, a garden, and commercial space.

“Creating new permanent supportive housing is central to my administration’s work to reduce homelessness across New York State, while simultaneously supporting strong neighborhoods throughout our state,” Governor Hochul said. “When completed, these projects will provide vulnerable New Yorkers with an affordable place to call home and the security and services they need to live safely and successfully in their communities.”

Supportive services will be provided by Catholic Charities of Tompkins/Tioga.

The money is part of a larger $45 million in funding to create nearly 227 permanent supportive housing units at six sites across New York located in Erie, Tompkins, Oneida, St. Lawrence, and Kings Counties.

I think they should call it “Dormy Staniels”.

All of the “supported housing” will be in Demoncrat districts. Ithaca is as blue as Jerry Garcia’s sun.

“Supportive housing.” The left is sure creative when it comes to euphemisms.
In laymen’s terms, this is low-income housing that will increase crime and lower nearby property values.

The “Stately Apartments” — LOL, nothing but the finest for our bums. No more derogatory, embarrassing names like Bedford Stuyvesant, Cabrini Green, or Pruitt-Igoe. No Siree! “I live in the ‘Stately Apartments.’”

20 apartments, maybe 1.5 people per apartment, so a total of 30 people housed. Out of the estimated 1,400 “unhoused” in Ithaca.

Why doesn't somebody ever propose mass housing the bums and druggies in Tokyo-style "capsule hotels"?

“in their communities”

Are you really part of the “community” if you live there on the taxes of others?

The public housing going in around here is all top shelf, including fiber cement siding. I’m sure they will soak the taxpayers in the City of Evil, as well.

Stately Apartments?

No area is mentioned as to WHERE that is but maybe on State Street which is the main street running up the hill from downtown to Cornell? That’s not a lot of apartments to handle a large number of homeless.....

I’ll write and ask Behind Liberal Lines....where?

I don’t know how to post the “Ithaca is the city of evil” thing, but I hope someone will help me out.

Good idea except the bums WANT to be homeless b/c they don’t like the rules of the housing/shelters. Hard to keep doing drugs there.

I wrote FReepmail to Behind Liberal Lines and he doesn’t live in the area anymore...but I looked up the location of Stately Apartments and it’s the west end of State Street...used to run through the entire city - west to east - but so much has been taken up with a mall.....I wouldn’t recognize it if I returned and I have no intention of doing so.
