WSNHS is also administering a $485,000.00 grant from the Federal Home Loan Bank for exterior repairs thru out the City.  We have received numerous requests for partner loans to complete projects. For example, if a roof needs repair and the maximum grant is $4,850.00, but the cost of the repair is $8,000.00, we are funding the difference from our NeighborWorks® America revolving loan fund. These loans have been extended throughout the City limits.

Our homeownership education prepares potential first-time home buyers with classes explaining the process of obtaining a mortgage and how to avoid predatory lenders. We offer credit counseling to correct outstanding financial issues that may hinder their getting a conventional mortgage. We also provide technical advice and rehabilitation loans to encourage families to stay in their homes. West Side Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc. does this by inspecting the property and then processing a loan application. The loan would cover any and all City of Buffalo building code violations. On a smaller scale, we have instituted a Minor Home Repair program. The guidelines for this program are that the homeowner purchases the supplies and we pay a repair person to do the labor. West Side Neighborhood Housing Services, Inc. also has an Emergency Program to address an immediate need such as a broken furnace or water line. Due to a lack of funding, we no longer offer a security program. We are aggressive in offering first mortgages to families that are working to become homeowners, but their credit scores are too low, or the value of the house is not enough to go to a regular lending institution.

The Association was created with the view of collaborating in a recuperating strategy for the community; aspiring to develop tenants potential through meaningful workshops in leadership; to organize tenants; secure housing from negligent landlords; promote neighborhood stability; and provide low-income housing. The services and activities are based upon the conviction that in order to effectively control housing problems, the neighborhood residents themselves must become involved. The Association promotes a self-help approach in attending other needs arising from poverty levels characterizing vast sectors of the community. The examination of the issues of the community and the individual person in a holistic way has led to a web of interrelations with other community organizations in order to improve the quality assistance offered to housing, schools, churches, hospitals, police, fire departments and other service providers in the area. The organizational relationship avoids repetitive efforts and economic redundancy. The Association provides independent living skills workshops to the community on various topics such as: Lead Awareness-Local Law 1, management, crime prevention (trespassing program), arson awareness, the operation of tenants associations and health issues.  Through NYC HPD's  Anti-Abandonment Unit- Community Consultant Program, the association offers walk-in services for: case management, counseling services, tenant counseling on apartment maintenance, referrals to suitable housing, employment and education, assistance with applications for Public Housing, Section 8 and Public Assistance, rent arrears application, DRIE (Disability Rent Increase Exempt), Con Edison /Heartshare (grant for individuals who are in distress and in arrears with electrical/gas bill, this program is seasonal), and protecting their legal rights.
