Human service agencies in the Hudson River region face decreased revenues due to low Medicaid rates, reduction or loss of State grant funding and contracts, delays in securing client benefit eligibility (Medicaid, SSI, Public Assistance), and lower levels of charitable giving and philanthropic support due to the economic downturn. Unity House, ClearView Center, Equinox, Mohawk Opportunities, Mental Health Association of Columbia-Greene Counties, Inc., Transitional Services Association, and Warren-Washington Association for Mental Health will develop a partnership model through the integration of data systems and programs.
The Hudson River Consortium will be an umbrella organization of well established, mid-sized nonprofits providing a range of client-centered human services that have experienced dramatic increases in demand and decreases in revenues. With support from NYSHealth, this project will improve access to services, increase service coordination/integration, achieve organizational efficiencies, and improve advocacy for clients and communities on a regional basis.
