Welcome to Sylvia's House: A Shelter for Everyone

At Sylvia’s House, we believe that no one should face homelessness alone—not you, your loved ones, or even your furry friends. We are proud to provide a safe, welcoming space for individuals, families, and pets.

Our mission is to ensure every member of your family, including those with paws, tails, or feathers, has a place to call home during challenging times. With dedicated accommodations for pets, you don’t have to make the heartbreaking choice of leaving them behind. Because family means everyone, and we’re here for all of you.

As winter weather inches closer, the effort to protect the homeless community is underway. 

Those in need of a warm location can go to the NFTA METRO Transportation Center from 5pm-7:30pm to obtain bus tickets to the Code Blue Shelter when Code Blue is called. They will not be allowed to wait at the NFTA outside of those hours.


You can receive Code Blue updates for Erie County and the City of Buffalo by texting CodeBlueBuffalo to 898-211.  If you live outside of Erie County, and need a warm shelter overnight, you can contact your local police department of 211 for other shelter locations. 

New this year, Erie County's Code Blue initiative is back with a new lead agency.


Sylvia’s House Inc. is helping lead the annual emergency weather safety plan that provides emergency support to people experiencing homelessness during extreme cold weather in Buffalo and Erie County. That includes outreach, transportation, shelter, and a warm meal to people when evening temperatures or wind chills drop to 32 degrees or below.

The goal is to stop winter weather related deaths.
