Myth: Those who are homeless choose to be homeless
Fact: The greatest need identified by those experiencing homelessness was permanent housing. Transportation and education/training were also cited as important needs. Shelter allowances provided by the Department of Social Services ($214 per month for a single parent with children) fell far short of the fair market rent for a two bedroom apartment in the greater Buffalo- Niagara Falls metropolitan area ($704), often leaving safe, adequate, and affordable housing out of reach.
