Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone pledged last week to have a new program for housing the county’s convicted sex offenders in place by the end of the year, easing the burden on Southampton Town, which currently hosts the only two official housing facilities for the homeless offenders in the county.

The trailer will be moved about a third of a mile to the west, behind the fence of a Suffolk County Police Department training facility. It currently sits just 50 feet from a senior citizen housing development.
