PBuffalo’s first black citizens lived alongside early settlers and largely resided in the Fourth Ward.

New York State was one of the more liberal states and enacted policies, such as abolishing slavery in 1827. Still, life in Buffalo was far from perfect for black families in the 1800s.

Erie County Department of Social Services' longstanding funding for the Success by 6 Program-in the amount of $98,192 annually-is planned for elimination as of january 1, 2013. This shift reflects altered DSS priorities affected by funding redirection on the federal and state levels. In the interest of our community, I urge you to work toward reinstating this support, which is essential for this critical programming within Erie County. Success by 6 is a vital service that delivers training, mentoring, Helpline assistance, and early intervention identification for child care providers within Erie County. These providers are responsible for our county's 49,000 children who receive care within their homes and in professional child care fadlities.
