Solutions to End Homelessness Program (STEHP)
RUPCO’s Rapid Re-Housing program serves individuals experiencing homelessness. Homelessness is defined as having no residence and lacking the resources or support networks to obtain other permanent housing. The STEHP program provides the support of a Housing Navigator, additional Case Management staffing, and a short-term assistance program to stabilize the homeless in Ulster County.
