Who we are:

The WNY Coalition for the Homeless was founded in 1980 and has continued to serve the community for more than three decades, empowering and advocating for individuals who lack safe, affordable, permanent housing. Over time the Coalition has grown and now includes approximately 50 different agencies.

  • Identify and ameliorate service gaps
  • Coordinate and enhance outreach efforts                
  • Advocate for permanent solutions to homelessness 
  • Improve and monitor the quality of service provision
  • Develop new resources
