In response to the growing needs of Western New York residents caused by the national economic downturn, The John R. Oishei Foundation has convened a group of Basic Human Needs providers to develop a strategy that will directly address the region’s issues. As a result of their efforts, the providers helped conceive the Mobile Safety-Net Team. This program consists of three traveling teams with expertise in human and social services. These teams traverse the various communities and neighborhoods throughout the counties of Erie and Niagara, to assist with the changes in lifestyle being experienced by residents. The objective of the program is to support and provide information in key areas of need, including food, financial and legal assistance, employment, health insurance, social services, and crisis services.
