Press Pass: Section 8 struggles continue in Buffalo

Buffalo Toronto Public Media | By Jay Moran
Published July 17, 2018 at 10:46 AM EDT

In 2006, Buffalo officials took a bold step by passing a law which expanded upon state and federal fair housing guidelines. The law prohibits landlords from discriminating against potential tenants who rely upon federal subsidies like Section 8 which is used by thousands in Buffalo.  On WBFO's Press Pass, Charlotte Keith of Investigative Post discusses her story which indicates city officials are doing little to enforce the statute.
