Broome County Reimagines Homelessness Support

Broome County is finally waking up to the crisis: spending nearly $10 million on hotels for homeless families — a shocking jump from just $358,000 in 2018 — while safety nightmares unfold, including registered sex offenders living alongside children. Hotels aren’t shelters — they’re traps. One mom described cramped, dangerous rooms with no fridge, microwave, or dignity. Now, the county’s pouring $200,000 into experts who’ll build a real, stable housing system — not just a temporary fix. This isn’t quick, but it’s the start of a long-overdue change.
