Governor Kathy Hochul today announced the completion of a 65-unit affordable housing development in East Buffalo. The long-vacant School 75 has been repurposed to offer 47 apartments, including 33 with supportive services for veterans and military service-disabled individuals, and will be home to the new corporate offices for the Western New York Veterans’ Housing Coalition. As part of the project, an additional 12 buildings were constructed throughout the neighborhood and provide 18 affordable units.

The former school building has been dedicated as The Charlie Bush Building in honor of SPC Charles E. Bush, Jr., who was killed in action on December 19, 2003, in Operation Iraqi Freedom. SPC Bush was a food service specialist assigned to the 402nd Civil Affairs Battalion, Tonawanda, N.Y. His awards and decorations include the Bronze Star Medal, the Purple Heart, the Army Service Ribbon, the National Defense Service Medal, and the Army Reserve Components Achievement Medal.
