Pattern for Progress, a research organization based in the Hudson Valley, recently released a report titled “When Hotels Become Home.” The report highlights how the housing crisis is forcing some families in Ulster, Duchess, Orange and Sullivan Counties to live in hotels and motels—including families with young children.
Radio Catskills Nia Watson spoke with Sullivan County Commissioner for Health and Human Services John Liddle about the report and how this crisis is affecting families in the area.

This is such an important piece. Great job summarizing so many of the factors influencing housing costs and employment opportunities in Sullivan — and it really shows how hard hit our neighbors are. I’d love to know about Sullivan nonprofit agencies that folks can donate to that help support families, single parents, and kids with housing costs. There are probably a handful that work in conjunction with Social Services. Can you share a few of those organizations, please? Thanks you!
