Joseph's House & Shelter 2025 Executive Director's Awards



2025 Executive Director's Awards

Thursday, May 15

6:00 PM - 9:00 PM

216 4th St

Troy, NY 12180, USA

 

Joseph's House & Shelter is working toward a community where everyone has safe and affordable housing, administering homeless services programs in Rensselaer and Albany Counties. 

 

NYS Comptroller DiNapoli’s Office’s recently reported that homelessness has doubled in New York State over the last few years. But by working together, we can better meet the needs of our community and end local homelessness—one person and one family at a time.

 

At our Executive Director's Awards event, Executive Director Amy LaFountain will chart our agency's path forward to address our neighborhoods’ growing needs in the presence of our Board of Directors, our director staff and community stakeholders. 

 

She will also present two "Community Leadership" awards, a "Volunteer Excellence" award, and a “Mission, Vision & Values” award.

 

Your support helps us continue our vital work: providing non-judgemental, housing-first services to end homelessness.

 

This year, we are being hosted by DeFazio's at 216—an exciting new restaurant and venue space by the DeFazio Family in Troy's Little Italy Neighborhood. And... did we hear rumors about a signature Joseph's House & Shelter cocktail?
