  • 1 BUFFALO FISCAL STABILITY AUTHORITY

    Buffalo, NY
    Budget

    The Buffalo Fiscal Stability Authority's third-quarter analysis of the Buffalo Municipal Housing Authority (BMHA) for fiscal year 2024-25 shows the agency operating within its overall consolidated budget as of March 31, 2025, with revenues of $47.3 million (79.2% of budget) and expenses of $45.7 million (78.9% of budget). However, the Marine Drive Apartments property is significantly underperforming, with actual expenses at 113% of budget resulting in a $1.1 million net operating loss—$1.0 million worse than projected—driven by elevated general, maintenance, administrative, and utility expenses, though partially offset by $0.5 million in favorable rental revenues. Additional notable items include a $2.05 million transfer of Fosdick Field to the Buffalo City School District and a 17.2% employee vacancy rate across BMHA, with the Capital Improvements department experiencing a particularly high 42.9% vacancy rate.
