Meanwhile, a significant development is unfolding in Cayuga County. The county has allocated $1 million in federal funding for a new homeless shelter, set to replace the current 16-bed facility. If approved and funded, the new shelter will offer additional housing options and include transitional housing.
However, the project isn't without controversy. Some neighbours have appealed a court ruling authorising the new homeless shelter, creating an uncertain outcome. The timeline for construction and opening is contingent on state funding, with the Auburn homeless shelter, planned for 80 beds, potentially opening by fall 2027.
The Rescue Mission has applied for funding from New York's Homeless Housing Assistance Program, with a decision expected in October. Unfortunately, no information about the applying organisation or the expected decision timeline for the state funding has been disclosed.
