WNY shelters struggle to find housing, fear a homelessness crisis is coming soon
“With five kids and two jobs, Bowler’s schedule is packed. On top of that, she goes to five listings a day, looking for a house. She’s been homeless since August of 2021 because of a domestic violence situation.
‘It was either my life or basically my kids. So I chose to leave,’ said Bowler.
Since then, she’s been living at Family Promise of WNY, getting back on her feet and hoping to find a place of her own. She says it’s been nearly impossible.”
