Westminster Commons Senior Community to Offer 84 Affordable and Supportive Homes for Seniors

On October 25, 2019 The State of New York and BFNC announced the start of construction on Westminster Commons, a $22.8 million housing and healthcare development for seniors on Buffalo’s East Side. The housing development community led by the Buffalo Federation of Neighborhood Centers, Inc., (BFNC) will include a newly constructed building with 84 affordable apartments for seniors.

All 84 apartments will be affordable to households earning at or below 60 percent of the Area Median Income. Forty apartments will be reserved for seniors with a history of mental illness. These residents will have access to on-site supportive services, such as case management, benefits advocacy, financial management, job skills training and assistance with medical care.

The Vision. The Design.

Buffalo Federation of Neighborhood Centers (BFNC) is a community agency with over 125 years of serving the Buffalo community. BFNC has always been committed to providing programs and services that uplift and empower community members to create a pathway to their success. Our commitment to area seniors was a driving force for our vision to develop affordable and quality housing with a health care facility in the heart of Buffalo’s Eastside community.

The Westminster Settlement House, originally constructed in 1893, will be repurposed into a community service facility with health-oriented services for both residents and the community. Services will include a certified senior adult day care program, a medical clinic, a pharmacy, rehabilitative services and office space. There will be an interior link between the two buildings to facilitate ease of access for residents.
