BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — Family & Children’s Counseling Services (FCCS) on April 14 formally broke ground on the expansion of its facility at 257 Main St. in Binghamton.

The new 9,000-square-foot, two-story building will connect to FCCS’ existing structure. It features an integrated redesign that is client-centered, better meets the needs of children and families, and follows best practices, especially with children served through the agency’s sexual-abuse treatment program. The project will also create additional space for improved access to mental-health services and medication-assisted treatment, the organization said.

“We were experiencing an epidemic of trauma, mental health concerns and addiction even before the COVID epidemic,” Maryann Johnson, FCCS board VP, said in a press release. “Increased demand for behavioral health services, telehealth supports, medically assisted treatment and primary prevention programming has grown exponentially with COVID and the aftermath of years of fear, isolation and loss.”

The new space will include multiple waiting rooms, expanded substance-use treatment and recovery rooms, integration of primary care and behavioral care, a new HVAC system, upgraded IT infrastructure, more off-street parking, and improved handicapped parking and accessibility options.

“After years of planning, I’m glad to see this much-needed expansion is underway,” Assemblywoman Donna Lupardo (D–123rd District) said in the release. “The new addition to Family & Children’s Counseling Services will fill a critical need in the community for mental health and addiction services.”

The organization secured more than $4 million in funding for the $5 million project, including a grant from the New York State Department of Health’s Statewide Health Care Facility Transformation Program II. Additional funding came from a New York State Assembly grant and American Rescue Plan Act funding from Broome County and Binghamton. Underwriting opportunities are available to help fund the remaining cost of the project.

“As the need for services continues to grow, Family & Children’s Counseling Services will now be able to expand and accommodate more clients than ever,” Broome County Executive Jason Garnar said. “For 80 years, this agency has already helped thousands of families in our community. This project will help them serve even more people in the years ahead.”

Founded by Esther W. Couper in 1941, the organization provides serves to people of all ages. In 2020, the Family & Children’s Society merged with Family Counseling Services of Cortland County to become Family & Children’s Counseling Services. Programs include mental health and addiction services, care coordination, housing placement, vocational assistance, and sexual-abuse treatment.

Improvements in orders and shipments were among the factors as the general business-conditions index of the monthly Empire State Manufacturing Survey jumped 35 points in April to 10.8.

The general business-conditions index is the monthly gauge of New York’s manufacturing industry. The index had fallen 19 points in March to -24.6.

The April reading — based on firms responding to the survey — indicates business activity “increased in New York State for the first time in five months,” the Federal Reserve Bank of New York said in its April 17 report.

A positive index number indicates expansion or growth in manufacturing activity, while a negative reading points to a decline in the sector.

The survey found that 35 percent of respondents reported that conditions had improved over the month, while 24 percent said that conditions had worsened, the New York Fed said.

Survey details

The new-orders index rose 47 points to 25.1, and the shipments index climbed 37 points to 23.9, indicating that both orders and shipments increased “substantially” after declining in recent months.

The unfilled-orders index rose to 0, a sign that unfilled orders were unchanged. The delivery-times index also came in at 0, indicating that delivery times held steady.

The inventories index moved up 10 points to 8.2, suggesting that inventories grew modestly.

The index for number of employees remained negative for a third straight month at -8.0, and the average-workweek index stayed in negative territory at -6.4, indicating that employment and hours worked contracted.

The prices-paid index fell 9 points to 33.0, indicating that input-price increases moderated. The prices-received index held steady at 23.7, suggesting the pace of selling price increases was little changed.

The index for future business conditions edged up to 6.6, suggesting that firms do not expect activity to improve much over the next six months. New orders and shipments are expected to increase modestly, and employment is expected to grow.

The capital-spending index rose 3 points to 16.5, and the technology-spending index came in at 10.3.

The New York Fed distributes the Empire State Manufacturing Survey on the first day of each month to the same pool of about 200 manufacturing executives in New York. On average, about 100 executives return responses.
