Sunflower Houses
Opened December 1, 2021
An unprecedented collaboration among Ithaca Neighborhood Housing Services (INHS), Opportunities, Alternatives and Resources (OAR), and Ultimate Reentry Opportunity (URO) initiative, the Sunflower Houses provide low-barrier, affordable housing for formerly incarcerated and court-involved persons. The Sunflower Houses is a transitional housing program designed to provide wraparound services to people in reentry in order to facilitate their successful reintegration into our community.
HFFA & URO
URO has partnered with the Healthy Food for All (HFFA) Initiative to provide any person on probation and parole and their families with a highly subsidized Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share (a weekly provision of fresh produce). HFFA also facilitates and coordinates the implementation of fresh, locally grown food into warm meals prepared for people living in the encampments.
