Shelters of Saratoga Partners with Business for Good Foundation to Expand Affordable Housing

SARATOGA SPRINGS — Shelters of Saratoga (SOS) has partnered with The Business for Good Foundation to provide affordable apartments with support services to low-income residents in Saratoga Springs. 

The Foundation gifted long-term use of the building at 1 Franklin Square to build the availability of supportive and affordable housing in the city. 

“The gift works to fill the community need for affordable apartments with supportive care,” Duane J. Vaughn, Executive Director at Shelters of Saratoga, said in a statement. “Access to health care, food, employment, and community services promotes self-sufficiency and stable housing.” 

Ed and Lisa Mitzen formed Business for Good with a mission to invest in people to build better businesses, stronger communities, and a more equitable world. 

Shelters of Saratoga operates 11 affordable apartment units with support services for 16 residents in downtown Saratoga Springs. The agency recently purchased the former Spa Motel on Ballston Ave, Saratoga Springs. The 9-unit motel will open as part of the supportive housing program in 2023.
