Our Services

HOME serves our Western New York community through advocacy, the enforcement of fair housing laws, education, and the creation of housing opportunities.

We provide free, comprehensive support to victims of housing discrimination and offer paralegal counseling to help resolve landlord and tenant disputes. We also record and investigate complaints of housing discrimination by utilizing testers to corroborate complaints and gather evidence of systemic housing discrimination, compiling facts, interviewing witnesses, reviewing documents, and counseling individuals on their housing rights and options under federal, state, and local laws.

We offer landlord certification courses, as well as fair housing and tenant's rights trainings. We provide technical assistance to the government, community services, and housing providers.

We compile and maintain a fair housing database; prevent and mitigate homelessness by participating in the City of Buffalo's Rapid Re-housing program; provide mobility counseling; and help families move through our Making Moves Program (MMP). Our partnership with the Town of Hamburg provides financial resources to assist people who wish to move to Hamburg’s high-opportunity neighborhoods!
