The housing crisis is not a glitch. Fighting it takes a network. Here are the organizations building tenant power in Buffalo.

When facing eviction, code violations, or landlord harassment, the current system relies heavily on tenants feeling isolated. Property owners frequently bank on the fact that an individual renter might lack the resources or the knowledge to fight back alone. A highly effective way to counter that isolation is through organized, cross-community solidarity.
The Rising Tide Fellowship operates within a broader ecosystem of groups working to build working-class power in Western New York. Building a functional defense network means connecting legal aid, mutual aid, and direct action into a cohesive front.
Our digital headquarters serves as a directory to connect you directly with these mission-aligned organizations. While we do not maintain formal or official corporate partnerships with these entities, we consider them vital allies bound by a shared commitment to community sovereignty.
This directory includes legal resources like Neighborhood Legal Services, the Western New York Law Center, and HOME. It also links to on-the-ground organizing groups like the Queen City Workers Center, PUSH Buffalo, and Black Love Resists in the Rust (which is currently sunsetting its operations and not taking on new missions, but remains a highly respected part of our local organizing history).
If you are looking to get involved, or if you are currently facing a hostile property owner and want backup, connecting with the groups already doing the work on the ground is a great first step. You can find direct links to these local allies in our directory.
