We are so grateful to @ulstersavings for the generous $2,500 grant that was awarded to our Supportive Housing Program in Ulster County. 🫶 Housing is a huge challenge in our community, and we are doing our part to address it, with above-and-beyond peer care coordination that supports participants in many ways to ensure they stay housed and meet their goals. We can't do it alone! 💙 Funding for these programs is always limited, so we rely on our partners to help us go the extra mile in delivering compassionate care to those in need. Thanks to Ulster Savings Bank, we can do just that! Thank you to MaryRose Warcholak for advocating for us, and to the entire USB team for being a pillar in the community. #SupportiveHousing #AffordableHousing #EndHomelessness #Housing #Community #HousingIsHealth #UlsterSavingsBank #UlsterSavings #PeopleUSA #PeopleUSANow #Nonprofit #MentalHealth #Advocacy #Peers #WellnessServices #Community #Support #Recovery #Sobriety #Prevention #Hope #RoadToMentalWellness #NewYork
