Once again, this year, the Albany Housing Authority has provided housing for students from the Xavier University of Cincinnati, Ohio’s Alternative Breaks program. The students were in Albany from March 5th to March 11th and were engaged in a number of projects throughout the week. One of these projects was the NY Gang Prevention Program. This one week collaboration between the students and the city of Albany offers these students the chance to volunteer and assist a program of their choice, while gaining valuable life experience and providing community service.

South End Construction Spurs Private Investment
Private investors are reacting to the Authority’s work in the South End by acquiring and rehabbing abandoned buildings. An example of this is at 41 Catherine Street, a 2-unit abandoned rowhouse, where investors are using their own money and sweat equity to rehabilitate the structure. Authority representatives referred them to the City’s lead abatement program for additional funds to assist with the project. The same investors are rehabilitating a garage across the street at 40-44 Catherine Street. They said their decision to invest in those buildings and in the South End neighborhood was a direct result of seeing the Authority’s work just down the street. The combined effect of public and private investment is that more improvements are made, which result in a stronger and more vibrant community.
