Habitat plans delayed by city code switch in Syracuse
Habitat for Humanity in Syracuse faces a slow building season after a city code switch canceled major plans. One house is being built at 225 Ashworth Place with Corner Corp, plus rehabilitation on Wiman Street. The group seeks more lots for next year and relies on funds from churches and bequests. A benefit concert at DeWitt Community Church supports the effort with donations at the door.

Addicts Find Continues support After Commission Closure
After the Syracuse Onondaga Drug and Alcohol Abuse Commission folded, the Onondaga Council on Alcohol and Addictions absorbed staff and services. Brad Finn, executive director, describes continuity of care as 60 people remain at work and calls from the public continue, with funds from state and local grants sustaining a 630000 dollar budget. The Harvest Walk at Onondaga Lake Park drew about 60 participants and 4160 in donations, as the council expands youth prevention and recovery programs and houses the former commission's Parent to Parent education and Youth Court roles.
