HUDSON RIVER HOUSING

Hudson River Housing was founded in 1982 with a mission to serve the growing homeless population in Dutchess County. Our first programs consisted of emergency shelter and services for homeless individuals and families. In order to address the affordable housing need for households facing homelessness, Hudson River Housing became engaged in real estate development. Since our inception, we have brought over 1,100 units of affordable housing under our management through new construction, rehabilitation, and property acquisition. We currently manage a property portfolio of 713 units in 77 buildings at 38 locations. These properties include units dedicated to meeting the needs of youth, seniors, veterans, and those with mental illness, as well as the general population. In addition to affordable housing managed by our organization, our NeighborWorks HomeOwnership Center promotes homeownership, creates educated and confident homebuyers, and assists homeowners in preserving their investment. Our work has had a significant positive impact on neighborhood conditions, broadening our impact to include an expertise in community development and the expansion of programs that help both people and places thrive. Today, HRH serves thousands of households annually and its impact stretches throughout Dutchess County and the Hudson Valley region. HRH is guided by a Strategic Plan and engages in the following core activities or five (5) primary lines of business that increasingly work together to advance its mission: Resident Services, Real Estate Development, Property and Asset Management, Community Building and Engagement, and HomeOwnership Promotion and Preservation.
