Welcome to the University Heights Collaborative!

Who are we, and what do we do?

The University Heights Collaborative (UHC) is a community-based group of residents and other interested people working together to maintain and enhance the quality of life for all in our neighborhood. Our committees include: Beautification, Business Involvement, Communication, Neighborhood Watch, and Landlord Outreach. We work with residents, property owners, University at Buffalo staff and students, law enforcement officers, business owners, our elected officials, and other community leaders in order to coordinate resources and co-create our future.

We also serve as an umbrella organization for Block Clubs and Neighborhood Watch groups in University Heights.

Neighborhood Watch -- helping to keep our community safe for all, block by block
