Posted on December 22, 2015 in Associated Press Associated Press, Organizations that shelter homeless people in the greater Albany area say they’re overflowing on the coldest nights and are calling on the governor and Legislature to back 35,000 more units of supportive housing statewide over the next decade, including 5,000 upstate. Directors of Catholic Charities Housing in Albany and Joseph’s House and Shelter in Rensselaer County said their shelters have taken in more people than they have beds for on winter nights when temperatures are below freezing.
