Buffalo Confronting Homelessness
“We save people. We get them off the streets”… Buffalo confronting homelessness
Marek Parker, program director of homeless services with BestSelf Behavioral Health, said the number of people who identify as homeless has jumped from under one thousand at one point to around 1500 this year in Erie County.
“We work with the clients that have struggled the most. The clients that have been repeatedly homeless. The clients with severe mental health,” Parker said.
