Senate Majority Leader Joseph L. Bruno and The Saratoga County Rural Preservation Company announced that Senator Bruno has obtained $20,000 in funds from the 2004-05 state budget for upgrades to the company�s furnishings for the homeless veterans programs in Milton and Ballston Spa.
"We are so grateful to Senator Bruno for his commitment to veterans and for his support of our community programs," said Dottie O'Donnell, Executive Director of the Saratoga County Rural Preservation Company. "With this funding, we will be able to continue to provide services to the many homeless veterans who depend on our program. Senator Bruno has been a great advocate for veterans and for our organization and we appreciate his continued support."
"The Saratoga County Rural Preservation Company is a wonderful organization that does a tremendous job in servicing the veterans of our area," said Senator Bruno. "Now, more than ever, with so many of our military men and women serving our nation overseas, people are recognizing the tremendous sacrifices these brave men and women make for our freedom. I am pleased to secure this funding so this outstanding company can continue to serve the veterans in the Capital Region."
The Saratoga County Rural Preservation Company was formed and incorporated under a grant from the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal in January 1983. The Company services have included ongoing management of federally subsidized rental units in all Saratoga County and are at a level of 200 families being subsidized monthly.
A transitional shelter for veterans was established in Saratoga Springs in 1988. Since the inception, the organization has been at full capacity and now operates a ten bed facility in Ballston Spa, New York.
