Jamestown Family Shelter Completes $6M Project with State and County Support
What happened
Construction on the Salvation Army’s Anew Center, a 7-unit, 19-bed family shelter, has been completed in Jamestown. The $6 million project received $4.4 million from the State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance’s Homeless Housing and Assistance Program, and the New York State Office of Children and Family Services provided licensing support. The new facility replaces the agency’s previous 13-bed shelter, which was not ADA-compliant.

Why it matters
The project represents a significant capital investment in local social infrastructure, replacing an outdated facility with one that features full ADA accessibility and enhanced security. This effort aligns with a broader funding program announced by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services to expand childcare services.
