Hope on Main
Downtown acreage revitalized to provide affordable housing and community support programs.
Salvation Army of Buffalo’s Main Street campus transformation, Hope on Main, is a three-phase development to create an emergency family shelter, affordable and supportive housing units, and updated program facilities to increase family self-sufficiency. The process was collaborative from the start, engaging the community through several public outreach events to ensure the project meets community needs and expectations. The first phase of Hope on Main includes a 32-unit, 80-bed Emergency Family Shelter, replacing the existing 77-bed facility without displacing residents. Later phases add 143 affordable apartments, 17 townhomes, and a worship and community center with activity areas, a learning lab, offices, and a laundry facility.
