Description

Gannett House addresses the basic needs of homeless individuals and families that are placed in emergency housing at Hudson River Lodging, located at 389 Manchester Road in LaGrange.

Individuals and families must apply for placement through the Dutchess County Department of Social Services.

Gannett House provides meals, transportation, 24-hour security, and other immediate assistance a family or individual may need as they adjust to their temporary living situation.

Once immediate needs are addressed, Gannett House Case Managers assist participants in overcoming the issues that led to their homelessness in accessing needed community resources and in working toward their goals, including transitioning to more stable housing.
