The Buffalo Promise Neighborhood serves one of Buffalo’s poorest communities. The population is 76 percent minority, including 69 percent African American. More than a third of Buffalo Promise Neighborhood residents (38 percent) live in households with incomes below the federal poverty level, and 88 percent of students qualify for free or reduced-price school meals.
