About Us

What We Do.

Buffalo Bound was founded to provide resources and guidance to individuals relocating to the Buffalo Niagara region to feel comfortable and confident in their move. We also understand the challenges that come with making meaningful friendships and relationships in a new place. Buffalo Bound creates events and programs to build community with newcomers to the Western New York region.

We work with individuals, as well as local companies and their new employees, to ease the transition of relocating to a new community and help them thrive in their new home.

Why We Do It.

We understand that relocating to a new community comes with specific challenges as you are researching, evaluating, and navigating all of the important details of your life and how they might translate to a new place. 

The Buffalo Niagara region is a special place to call home, and our goal is to help individuals have a successful move to the area where they can not only feel comfortable in their new community but also prosper. 

City of Good Neighbors

Buffalo is known as the “City of Good Neighbors,” and we believe being a good neighbor includes properly welcoming our new residents. As a city on the rise, we need to have the infrastructure to support our new residents. Being a good neighbor also means looking out for one another, making sure someone has what they need, and having a community to belong to. Buffalo Bound brings this philosophy to the work we do.

What We Believe.

  • We Believe in Being Human

    Moving to a new city stirs up plenty of human emotions and needs; a need for security, connection, and belonging. Our services are based on real conversations that take into account the needs and vulnerabilities involved in a move, and how to build meaningful relationships in your new community.

  • We Believe in the Power of Community.

    We believe in the power a community has plays a vital role in our lives and how we connect to those around us. The community we seek, reinforce, and build towards believes in respect, that our diversity is our strength, we are open to new experiences, and that we use our collective wisdom to grow, and empower one another.

  • We Believe in Helping Others Breathe Easier.

    “To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived; This is to have succeeded.”

    - Ralph Waldo Emerson

    We take this sentiment to heart and believe that if someone has “breathed easier” in their transition to their new community, it means we have succeeded.

  • We Believe in the Promise of a Better Future.

    The motivation for a move is often based on the pursuit of better opportunities, a desire to improve one’s circumstances or the wish for a fresh start. Those that seek a new opportunity in a new community have their eyes on a better future for themselves and their families. Our goal is to help these individuals thrive in their new surroundings and contribute to their personal growth and the growth of our region and institutions.
