Mayor Sean Ryan and the School of Architecture and Planning announced Buffalo Ready Homes, an initiative designed to make it easier to build single-family and two-family homes on vacant lots in Buffalo. The program will create preapproved housing plans that meet local zoning requirements, aiming to reduce uncertainty and streamline the building process for small builders, nonprofit housing organizations, and property owners.
