Buffalo Peace House

Description

The Buffalo Peace House provides safe, clean housing for refugees and asylum-seekers. The program we are requesting funding for is our housing program. Our housing program was developed to address the on-going need for affordable housing in the Buffalo area. Many refugees and asylum-seekers are either forced to stay in institution-like shelters, or motels that waste away their resettlement funds. Recognizing this dilemma, the housing program was developed as an alternative to the traditional options. The housing program provides both short-term and long-term housing to clients, dependent upon their need. Our program provides residents with private bedrooms, in addition to private or shared bathrooms depending on the number of family members. Our facility has a fully functional kitchen, on-site laundry, two family rooms, a dining room, and is secured by a security system. We also provide transportation to local stores, landmarks, and events.
