There's more housing coming to an area on Buffalo's East Side.
True Bethel Baptist Church has just split off part of its enormous parking lot to be the site of a senior citizens housing complex.
The church built three houses around the corner and has just sold the third.
Across the street, the D.E.C. spent $8 million cleaning up the site of a lead recycling plant and the church is building housing there.
The $5 million project will have 30 apartments.
Ellicott District Councilmember Darius Pridgen is True Bethel pastor.
"We know that there's a demand," Pridgen told WBFO News.
"We have no doubt that people want to live in the city of Buffalo. Especially those who have low-and-medium incomes, they want to live in adequate housing. These will be brand new houses with a small community center on the grounds
Pridgen says these are housing units which are comfortable, warm in winter and cool in summer, and are just good places to live.
