RHA aiding residents in Danforth and Hudson-Ridge Towers after program termination
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — Multiple residents have moved out of Danforth and Hudson Ridge Towers after the termination of a housing program.
The Enriched Housing Program's services were terminated for the residents living there. The program was run through Family Service Communities, which said the programs were closed to ensure the 'health and safety' of participating residents.
28 of the 29 former residents of the program are being assisted by the Rochester Housing Authority. They are securing housing solutions for the affected residents. Wegmans provided meal arrangements for residents in need.
It was originally reported that people were being evicted from the towers. The Housing Authority clarified this was not the case — the Department of Health was relocating those affected, as others were invited to stay under a different program.
Below is the most recent statement from the Rochester Housing Authority:
'As of today, the Rochester Housing Authority has assisted 28 of 29 former Enriched Housing Program residents from Danforth and Hudson Ridge Towers in identifying or securing appropriate housing solutions. Most will remain in their RHA units and become Public Housing residents.'
'We remain focused on ensuring the stability, safety, and well-being of all affected residents during this transition. Our team has done a great job assisting residents and continues to work closely with Monroe County Department of Human Services, Office of the Aging, Lifespan, and other partners to evaluate each individual's needs and provide coordinated support to ensure the residents receive the proper support services they need.'
'We would also like to thank Wegmans for working with us to establish meal arrangements for residents in need of this service. Their support has helped meet critical daily needs during a challenging time. '
'We thank our community partners and the media for their continued interest and compassion. Additional updates will be shared as progress continues.'
