Hatas sucks they give you the round around Erie county will put you up in a motel or Jefferson county I was homeless in NY from 05 and off n on till 08 though I miss being in Albany
I can answer my own question they are helping me mine is a problem when it comes to finding the right place to live there is a section 8 for felons the one town I know of that has it is cohosh NY. And there is a government program that will help with rent it's called erap or emergency rental assistance program look it up it's on the internet.Dss or department of social services check them out to find shelter for the homeless and help with moving expenses and finding a place to move to.
You will have to go to Social Service first speak to someone at HATAS.
What shelter are you in?
