How to resolve AdBlock issue? SARATOGA SPRINGS — The city-based Code Blue winter emergency shelter on Adelphi Street is now open every night, Shelters of Saratoga announced Oct. 26.
The venue will provide nightly shelter from 4 p.m. to 8 a.m. until April 2023.
Additionally, on days when the temperature drops below 32 degrees, daytime respite with a navigation center where community partner agencies provide client services will be available. Services this winter have expanded to include case management, which provides the means for guests to move out of homelessness.
The building which houses the shelter, located just off South Broadway, is leased through April 30, 2023 at a cost of $8,000 per month.
Plans were unveiled in October to site a permanent 24/7 year-round shelter on city-owned property at the soon-to-be-vacated Senior Center on Williams Street. Proposals call for the development of the low barrier shelter and navigation center to be operational in early 2023.
The city expressed interest in also pursuing the possibility of constructing about 40 affordable housing apartments in an adjacent space on the parcel that would assist residents in their transitioning process - a continuum of care with the ultimate goal of helping people move from homelessness to sustained housing on their own.
