Join us on The Public Good this week! We'll be speaking with DeAnna Eason, Executive Director of HOME, Inc. about the lack of affordable housing in Buffalo addressed in PPG's new report.

"Buffalo’s already extreme poverty is getting worse, not better, despite the spate of recent economic development projects. The City’s poverty rate rose slightly each year from 2009 to 2015, going from 29.6% to 31.4%, which is more than twice the national rate."
