Cooper Street Apartments to be Completed in 2021

MMSI Properties, LLC v Warren-Washington Association for Mental Health, Inc., et al.

[Glens Falls, NY, October 16, 2020] Warren Washington Association for Mental Health (WWAMH) has prevailed in MMSI Properties, LLC v Warren-Washington Association for Mental Health, Inc., et al. - Index No. 67317. Our trust in the City of Glens Falls’s planning board process and Warren County’s legal system to ensure the greater good of both entities is unshaken.

The lawsuit attempted to cease or delay the construction of WWAMH’s apartment project for homeless individuals located at 47-50 Cooper Street in Glens Falls. As a result of this unforeseen disturbance, WWAMH has accrued almost $60,000 in expenses due to the legal fees tied to the court case that are non-reimbursable. These unexpected costs instigated the reduction of several ancillary services and projects tied to the Cooper Street Apartment Project and other agency-provided services to individuals in this community. This decision by the New York State Supreme Court solidifies WWAMH’s expectation to have the project completed early in 2021. An announcement of the opening will be provided to the public at that time.

This project is a direct result of Governor Cuomo’s five-year, 2.6 billion dollar commitment to developing 6,000 units of supportive housing in New York State. WWAMH has been awarded two grants: The Homeless Housing and Assistance Program (HHAP) grant for 5.8 million dollars for construction and the Empire State Supportive Housing Initiate (ESSHI) grant for 3.4 million dollars to support operations. Together these funds will be used to develop 28 units of permanent, supportive apartments as well as emergency apartments for individuals who are homeless or unstably housed. The apartment building is expected to provide up to ten full-time jobs for the area.

Serving the community since 1948, WWAMH is a safety net provider for individuals in Warren and Washington Counties that are in different stages of their mental health recovery. WWAMH provides the following services: clinical mental health care, care management, supportive treatment, housing, benefits management, dual-recovery services, and a psychosocial club. Striving to provide a continuum of mental health care has uniquely positioned WWAMH in the community to address the affordable housing needs of Warren County.
