Mission Statement

Dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of Veterans.
Program Description

WNY Veterans Housing Coalition, Inc. (WNYVHC) was founded in 1987 to provide housing for homeless Veterans and Veterans with special needs. Since then the organization has expanded its focus by developing and managing residential housing for low income persons, severely disabled, homeless, and other persons who have special needs. Our main focus has been and always will be Veterans first.

The agency currently manages four apartment complexes consisting of 100 units in the City of Buffalo. It provides housing, case management and program services to individuals who might otherwise face homelessness.

What separates us from other property development and management organizations is the Continuum of Care component that provides case management services. Through a variety of supportive serves offered to tenants, the focus is on homeless prevention and referrals to agencies that can meet their needs. WNYVHC is at the forefront of setting a national trend in providing special needs housing for Veterans while addressing the complex factors and issues facing Veterans today.

Celebrating our 30th year in 2017, WNYVHC has assisted well over 20,000 Veterans with housing, case management, homeless prevention, employment and referrals.

In 1996, WNY Veterans Housing Coalition, Inc. was nationally recognized as a recipient of the prestigious “All American City Civic Empowerment Award” for its ability and reputation for implementing specialized and unique veteran and non-veteran special needs housing initiatives and partnerships commensurate with its Mission.

In May 2000, the National Coalition for Homeless Veterans, in Washington, D.C., presented a special recognition award for demonstrated leadership within the homeless provider network.

WNYVHC’s long term goal is to continue to aggressively search for new ways to improve housing and the quality of life for those who served when their country called and to assist other communities and organizations in addressing the needs of these special populations.
