St. Paul’s Center is proud to announce the successful expansion of our housing services with the opening of Senior Housing at Pitcher Place in Colonie. In April 2025, we welcomed residents into this newly rehabilitated building, which now offers 16 supportive housing apartments for seniors aged 55 and older who previously faced housing insecurity.

Each unit was thoughtfully furnished with comfortable furniture, bedding, and essential bath and kitchen items, ensuring that every resident could move into a space that truly feels like home.

More than just a building, Pitcher Place has become a community where individuals can rebuild, reconnect, and belong. With access to personalized case management, counseling, and coordinated services, residents are supported in aging in place with stability, dignity, and hope.

The building also features a welcoming community room, where residents participate in workshops that enhance quality of life, attend events, and enjoy social activities. In addition to housing program staff, members of our administrative team relocated from the shelter to this new site, allowing us to repurpose the former Executive Director’s office at the shelter to create additional space for families experiencing homelessness.

This transformative project was made possible through generous funding from New York’s Homeless Housing Assistance Program, with operational support from the Empire State Supportive Housing Initiative.

You can help us keep Pitcher Place thriving! Consider donating or volunteering your time – teach a craft, share a hobby, or offer a skill that brings joy and connection.
