The Issue

My brother, missing for 3.5 years, was tragically found deceased in the attic of the halfway house at 107 Sheffield. This is not an isolated incident - it's the fourth body associated with this address in Buffalo, NY. The pattern is disturbing and raises serious concerns about safety and management practices within this facility.

Halfway houses are meant to provide a safe environment for individuals transitioning back into society. However, when these facilities become associated with repeated incidents of harm or death, it's clear that they're failing to fulfill their intended purpose.

In Buffalo alone, there are over 20 other halfway houses that successfully operate without such incidents (source: New York Department of Corrections). It's unacceptable that residents around 107 Sheffield should face such risks when alternatives exist.

We urge local authorities to investigate these deaths thoroughly and take immediate action to close down this dangerous facility. Protect our community members. 

Please sign this petition calling for the closure of the halfway house at 107 Sheffield in Buffalo, NY.
