The Saratoga–North Country Continuum of Care (SNCCoC) has launched “Myths Hurt. Facts Help.” to combat stigma around homelessness and elevate data-driven solutions across Saratoga, Warren, Washington and Hamilton counties.
“To effectively address homelessness, we must begin with facts,” state SNCCoC Co-Chairs Lindsey Connors and Amber Beaudet. “When stakeholders and the public have access to accurate, transparent data, they can support strategies that work.”
“This campaign aims to shift the narrative from blame to understanding, from isolation to inclusion,” said Joan Spector, MST, lead of the SNCCoC Planning Team.
Over three months, the campaign will circulate on social and community channels, pairing common myths with fact-based responses and inviting partners to share content.
