In fall of 2008, the United States Census Bureau released a special report naming Buffalo as the third poorest large city in the United States, with approximately one-third of its adult population living below the poverty line, and 42% of its children living in poverty. Approximately 2,000 people (including people in families) are homeless on any given night, a number that has not changed dramatically in recent years.

By incorporating Project Homeless Connect into Buffalo’s Ten Year Plan to End Homelessness our area will not only improve the system of care by creating opportunities for collaboration and sharing of best practices but also streamline the services provided to homeless individuals in our area making it more cost effective and efficient. Buffalo is the city of good neighbors and regardless of our economic standings our citizens have shown an unwavering dedication to the city and its people. Project Homeless Connect will allow us to demonstrate on a national level our ability to evoke change within our community by having the public and private sectors working side-by-side in a new configuration, with a focus on problem-solving and results.
