Promise Neighborhood to remain at current location

Mar 02, 2016 6:45 am

John Mason is reporting in the Register-Star the Greater Hudson Promise Neighborhood Foundation has announced it will be staying at its current Second Street location for at least another year, thanks to a surprise benefactor. Promise is a project of the Mental Health Association of Columbia and Greene Counties. After a considerable rent hike last summer, Promise was looking for new, and more affordable space. However, in January, neighbor David Hyman came forward and offered to help the organization pay its rent. Promise is also expected to receive additional support from the Columbia County Department of Social Services and the landlord, Galvin Housing Resources, agreed to reduce the rent. The Greater Hudson Promise Neighborhood Foundation provides a mentoring program, a holistic homework help program, and the new Mobile Reads program, which brings Americorps volunteers to area preschools, where they read to students.
