About Safe Harbors Safe Harbors of the Hudson was incorporated as non-profit in 2000 with the mission of transforming lives and building communities through housing and the arts. We believe all housing must first and foremost strive to treat all tenants with dignity and respect. Through a grant from the New York State Office of Temporary Disability and Assistance, Safe Harbors purchased in 2002 what was once known as the Hotel Newburgh and began transforming it into safe and attractive supportive housing. With tenants in place, Safe Harbors began making immediate positive changes to the lives of the residents. We are housing the formerly homeless, those with a mental health diagnosis, low-income working adults and artists needing affordable live/work space. In 2004 Safe Harbors received Newburgh's largest tax credit award in their history and began a 21 million dollar construction job to bring the largest economic gift to downtown Newburgh. Completed in 2006, the Cornerstone Residence provides 128 apartments, art studio workspace, an art gallery, community space, and commercial space. Numerous community leaders joined in the celebratory ribbon-cutting on Dec. 1, 2006.
