And we have a positive rapport with Glens Falls and Hudson Falls,\u201d Deepe said.<br \/>\nThe apartments will provide permanent supportive housing, mainly single one-bedroom and studio apartments, as well as four apartments for families, Deepe said.<br \/>\nShe said the housing development will also have living space for emergency sheltering, where they can provide up to 30 days of temporary housing to some homeless while they are set up with stable housing.<br \/>\nShe said it\u2019s been a long time coming and will serve a great need in both counties.<br \/>\nIn 2009, the Warren-Washington Association for Mental Health opened a similar single-apartment program in Hudson Falls. Deepe said she mental health workers come to the building to offer health clinics, domestic violence programs and veteran programs.<br \/>\n\u201cThe only requirement for living here is they need to be homeless. They apply to come into the program and move in where they can get help,\u201d she said.<br \/>\nThis is the \u201chousing first\u201d theory where by providing stable housing, the residents can then concentrate on their other needs, like chemical dependency counseling, according to Deepe.<br \/>\n\u201cWe hope to break ground this summer. We are excited and grateful to get the funding and move forward,\u201d Deepe said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Greg Hitchcock A newly proposed housing project for the homeless is in the works in Glens Falls.
