Health & Human Services 5/5/2026

The Saratoga County Health & Human Services meeting on May 5, 2026, focused primarily on the approval of a resolution to accept a $322,466 allocation from the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance. This funding supports the county's rental supplement program aimed at assisting individuals and families experiencing homelessness or at risk of losing housing. The program provides monthly rental supplements averaging $681, with eligibility criteria based on income thresholds relative to the area median income. The resolution authorizes the Commissioner of Social Services to execute necessary documentation for the funding, which is 100% reimbursed. Discussion highlighted the program's importance, funding limitations, and the first-come, first-served basis for assistance. No other procurement or contracting actions were noted during the meeting.
