Buffalo Youth Build Futures with $3M | Buffalo News

Buffalo’s youth are getting a major boost with nearly $3 million in federal funding aimed at tackling the housing crisis and building futures through hands-on service and job training. The Service Collaborative is expanding programs like YouthBuild Buffalo, where teens construct homes while gaining confidence and career skills—some even using the experience to chase dreams like becoming a biologist. With additional local matching funds, over $4 million will fuel initiatives including the Buffalo Service Corps and ABLE early childhood education, bringing AmeriCorps members into classrooms and communities. This investment isn’t just about jobs—it’s about building affordable housing, skilled workers, and a stronger future for Western New York.
