Our President & CEO, Anne McCaffrey was honored to attend Mayor Byron Brown's "State of the City" address! As one of Buffalo's largest affordable housing providers, we’re thrilled about the Mayor's plans for affordable housing & look forward to partnering on their implementation. In the past few years, we’ve opened two sites with nearly 150 apartments: Jefferson Apartments & Folwell Apartments at the former Women and Children’s Hospital. Currently, we’re building a new project with Mount Olive Baptist Church on East Delevan. These initiatives are made possible with support from Mayor Brown & the City of Buffalo Pictured: Anne McCaffrey; President & CEO, People Inc.
