About Lakeview Family Homes 2000

Lakeview Family Homes 2000 is a public housing development in Buffalo with 155 apartments. HUD lists it at 390 Trenton Ave, Buffalo, NY 14201 (this may be one building or the management office for the development).

Who can apply

Public housing is for low-income households that meet HUD income limits for the area — the limit is 80% of area median income, and most new residents earn far less. The housing authority also checks household size, rental history and other eligibility rules.

How to apply

1. Contact the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority (BMHA) at 716-855-6711, or use its online application, and ask how to apply for public housing.
2. The public housing waiting list is separate from the Section 8 voucher list — you can be on both.
3. Have ID for every household member, proof of income, and Social Security numbers where available.
4. Keep your contact information current with the housing authority so you do not miss a letter about an interview or unit offer.

Your rights

New York State law bans source-of-income discrimination statewide, so a landlord can't turn you down because you use a Section 8 voucher or other housing assistance (Executive Law § 296).
