Heastie New York State Assembly Social Services Chair Andrew Hevesi today released a bi-partisan letter to Governor Cuomo signed by 133 members calling for the development of 35,000 new units of supportive housing by 2025 to address the state’s growing homelessness crisis. “Supportive housing has proved to be an effective solution to homelessness by providing the necessary services to keep people out of shelters and off the streets,” said Speaker Carl Heastie. “For the chronically homeless, supportive housing offers not only a stable, permanent home, but also a support system to put them on the path to a stable life.”
