Hosted by the Homeless Alliance of Western New York, Partnership for the Public Good, and Buffalo Commons, the event is free and open to anyone, including classes of students. The workshop is designed for local scholars, social service agencies, advocates, and government leaders and staff, and the general public. It offers everyone concerned with Buffalo’s poverty the chance to hear about new research, promising strategies, and opportunities for collaboration.  

We are seeking:

  • Twenty-minute presentations on poverty-related research that are focused on the Buffalo-Niagara region. After each presentation, we’ll have 20 minutes for Q&A.
  • Poster presentation for attendees to view and discuss with you before and after the presentations and during the advocacy break.

All proposals should be directly relevant to the Buffalo-Niagara region.  Send your proposal or any questions to Kristin Szczepaniec, Collaboration and Research Specialist for PPG and Buffalo Commons, ks844@cornell.edu.
