Shelters
of Saratoga (SOS) is the only homeless shelter in Saratoga,
Washington, or Warren Counties. SOS has been in existence
for 16 years. SOS helps over 400 individuals each year with
shelter, food, clothing, employment, transportation assistance
and case management.
Once
someone leaves the Shelter, we offer continued services, which
are designed to prevent the recurrence of homelessness. We
also operate a NY State sponsored Neighborhood Preservation
Program. Through this program, we have provided grant assistance
to over 100 low-income homeowners in Saratoga Springs with
rehabilitation on their owner-occupied houses.
SOS
has also provided assistance to over 120 low- income senior
citizen households in the Saratoga area in the past 10 years
with emergency, health, welfare repairs on their owner occupied
homes. Funding for these programs comes from both the city
of Saratoga and NY State.
SOS
owns and operates two apartment buildings for lower-income
senior citizens in the city of Saratoga Springs.
Attention all GE employees and retirees:
in 2009, GE will be matching employee contributions
2:1 to organizations providing food, shelter and basic
relief in response to the impact of the economic downturn.
Effective immediately, the GE foundation
will double gifts made by GE employees and retirees
up to $25,000 (for a $50,000 match) to qualified organizations.
Shelters of Saratoga is one of these organizations,
so please give generously.
Shelters
of Saratoga strives to ensure that every member of our
community has safe and affordable housing. We provide shelter,
advocacy and referral services for the homeless and those
at risk of homelessness. We develop and maintain a range
of affordable housing opportunities and resources for low
to moderate income families and individuals.
