Shelters of Saratoga Announces Opening of9 New Supportive Housing Units on Ballston Ave

SARATOGA SPRINGS —a Shelters of Saratoga announced the opening of nine new supportive housing units on Ballston Avenue in Saratoga Springs. 

The affordable apartments are more than just housing and represent a critical step toward stability, wellness, and hope for individuals who have experienced long-term homelessness and are navigating chronic health conditions, according to the agency. 

“We urge our neighbors to support the development of programs like this, as they create vital assets for our community,” Duane Vaughn, executive director of SOS, said in a statement. “You’re helping to guide individuals away from hardship and into productive, stable lives, contributing to the strength of society as a whole.” 

Utilizing the Housing First model, the program focuses on providing stable housing as the foundation for long-term health stabilization and personal growth. This evidence-based approach prioritizes housing as a key element for addressing homelessness, with a focus on person-centered care. While participation in case management services is voluntary, these services—ranging from resource navigation to health service coordination—are available to support residents in achieving their goals at their own pace.
