I am totally disappointed to read your letter regarding “our full support for the Rise” “Finley” project. Please look at the map of this
area. Code Blue Shelter, PROPSED 125 BED County Code Blue Shelter, Low Barrier Homeless Shelter, Rise Headquarters,
Saratoga County Mental Health Center, AIM residential home for disabilities, Shelters of Saratoga Office, Shelters of Saratoga
Housing. This is an overconcentration of one area for one income group.
Now you feel that a 71-unit Affordable Housing/Homeless Apartment building should be injected into this area as well. Do you even
realize that on two sides of this three-story project are single family ranch style homes? These residents are going to have the value of
their homes reduced dramatically.
The low barrier homeless shelter on Adelphi was number 8 on last year’s Public Safety Report for frequent addresses for calls for service.
Between this project and the proposed 125 code blue shelter we will soon be number 1. I hope the council will rethink their support of
“The Finley”.
