Effective July 10, 2023, the State of Emergency originally issued on May 11 regarding the county’s housing crisis and inability to provide for any arrival of migrants and / or asylum seekers was extended by the Tioga County Legislative Chair, Martha Sauerbrey. The most recent order, which expires on July 10, is now extended until Aug. 8, 2023.
According to Chair Sauerbrey, the State of Emergency has been declared due to a housing crisis the County of Tioga is experiencing, and the limited temporary and permanent housing available.
“Furthermore,” she added, “Tioga County is not capable of receiving or sustaining any number of migrants and / or asylum seekers.”
This situation, according to Sauerbrey, threatens the public’s safety.
This State of Emergency will remain in effect for 30 days or until rescinded by a subsequent order.
