Homeless Alliance of Western New York -- Information on this organization:
The Homeless Alliance of Western New York was created in 1992 by the
Erie County Legislature to find ways to reduce homelessness. By 2000, the Alliance had departed from our governmental roots, and
now acts as an independent not-for-profit organization.
We are comprised of four full time employees.
Our mission is to facilitate dialogue and strategic action between government, public, and private sectors to end homelessness.
Working with local service providers and community leaders, we seek to maximize assistance available to homeless individuals
and the agencies that serve them in the Western New York area through: Education, Original Research, Advocacy, Community Planning.
Meetings take place at St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral (corner of Church St. and Pearl St. in downtown Buffalo) at 9:30.
Next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, December 8.
