The West Side neighborhood of Buffalo, NY is one of the city’s most diverse, yet high unemployment rates and residential vacancy pose a threat to the community’s vitality. People United for Sustainable Housing (PUSH) has acquired an abandoned school building and will repurpose it into a much-needed community asset. Working with local arts and cultural organizations, PUSH will launch a community-led planning process to rehabilitate the structure while providing valuable skill-building opportunities for youth in the community.
