Cazenovia Recovery Systems is putting the finishing touches on its Amherst Station project at 2665-71 Main Street.  Two adjoining masonry buildings have been renovated to create office space for the agency on the first floor and twenty-four  apartments, nineteen one-bedroom and five, two-bedroom units.  The development is located across Main Street from the Amherst Street light rail station.

The residences are available for low and very-low income households and people with alcohol and/or substance dependence.  One bedroom units start at $395 per month plus utilities and two bedroom units begin at $465 per month.  Four units will be targeted to persons with alcohol and/or substance dependence with the New York State Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services providing rental assistance.

Key funding was provided by the NYS HOME Program, the federal Low-Income Housing Credit Program, the NYS Urban Initiatives Program, and the City of Buffalo Home Program.
