UTICA, N.Y. – The City of Utica is partnering with the Cornerstone Community Church to employ people who experience chronic homelessness as part of the church’s social enterprise program.
The city is allocating $120,000 from its coronavirus relief funding to help the program through a Community Development Block Grant.
“We have a moral obligation to help those in need, and this program is an investment that provides homeless individuals an opportunity to work, build self-esteem, recognize their value and contribute to our community,” said Utica mayor Robert Palmieri. “I commend Pastor Ballman for his compassion, leadership and dedication to improving the lives of others.”
