There are now a significant number of such providers serving Westchester and as the industry is experiencing significant consolidation due to changes in the reimbursement and regulatory environment, Lifting Up Westchester Inc. no longer believes maintaining its small program is in the best interests of its mission, clients, or employees. As a result, it applied to the NYS Department of Health for approval to transfer its operations to Always Compassionate Home Care, a larger, well-established provider of home care services in the state of NY. In connection with that application, Always Compassionate Home Care assumed operational management of the Companys home care program effective April 12, 2021 and a full legal transfer of the program is expected by the middle of 2022. 2625791 Housing Services: LUW provides long term housing assistance for individuals who have been chronically homeless, have a mental health or substance abuse diagnosis, HIV/AIDS or other disability. The Housing Program also supports clients exiting shelter in their apartment search, with lease negotiations and with moving into their new homes. All clients receive ongoing case management and support following their placement to ensure a more successful transition. In 2021 the program helped 220 individuals secure and maintain housing. 1799891 Open Arms: In 2021, the Open Arms 38-bed shelter for single men experiencing homelessness provided 479 men with 13,169 nights of shelter.
