Family Shelter Revival on East Side

Family Promise is revving up a new family shelter plan after last time’s Hamlin Park proposal hit roadblocks — this time targeting a former church on the East Side, zoned perfectly for housing, with space for up to sixteen families. Each unit could hold nine people, a major upgrade from their century-old facility. They’re laser-focused on families with children — not single adults — to tackle the 24% spike in homelessness across Western New York, where 40% of their clients are experiencing homelessness for the first time. With community engagement and city funding in the sights, they’re betting this location and renewed outreach will finally get them the stable, permanent housing they promise families need — especially for kids whose development can’t wait.
