Veterans Housing Coalition

Housing Task Forces, Coalitions, and Advocates

The goal of most housing task forces is to address policies and regulations that effect homeless populations in our communities. Unfortunately, policies and funding rarely favor to address individual needs of the individual veteran for a successful transition.


The Forgotten Veteran Housing Coalition will focus on the most vulnerable veterans experiencing homelessness in our communities and address idividual veterans on an individual basis with that knowledge being passed along.

    The Buffalo Common Council

    The Buffalo Common Council is dedicated to addressing problems and finding legislative solutions to the current affordable housing problems that residents face in the City of Buffalo. The Council recognizes that these issues have a significant impact on the overall well-being and quality of life of Buffalo residents. Tenant rights, including the right to a safe and habitable dwelling, can affect the physical and mental health of residents. Affordable housing, or the lack thereof, can also have a major impact on residents' ability to afford necessities and participate fully in the community.City of Buffalo
