About This Program in Buffalo
In Buffalo, the Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) program and public housing are administered by the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority (BMHA). Rent is income-based — generally about 30% of adjusted household income — whether in a BMHA community or with a voucher used in private housing.
How to Apply in Buffalo
Apply through BMHA at bmhahousing.com when waitlists are open. New York protects renters from source-of-income discrimination statewide (Human Rights Law, Executive Law §§ 292, 296, amended 2019), so most landlords cannot refuse a Housing Choice Voucher. Call BMHA at (716) 855-6711 for current waitlist status.
