Kingston was recently named one of ten urban areas in New York State to receive an initial $25,000 grant to study measures to ensure that no residents are displaced from their homes. The grant allows participation in the state Anti-Displacement Learning Network, a two-year program scheduled to begin this month with a three-month learning exchange among the participants and consultants. The ten participating urban centers will include the Hudson Valley small cities of Kingston, Newburgh and Hudson, plus Ithaca, Elmira and Broome County, as well as the state’s four largest cities: New York City, Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse.
