English: The new Buffalo City Mission building at 100 East Tupper Street (corner Ellicott Street) in downtown Buffalo, New York, as seen in February 2021. Designed by the firm of Carmina Wood Morris, this $15,000,000, four-story facility was completed in 2020 and opened to the public the following year as a replacement for a smaller building that had stood on the same site. According to the press release that was issued in conjunction with the center's opening, it's intended to "provide preventative services to those who are on the brink of homelessness and many already experiencing homelessness", with amenities such as "social service agencies, case management, education, mental health services, a Recuperative Care Unit (the first of its kind in Western New York), medical care, job skills training, housing and career development, legal services, food, clothing and more". The Buffalo City Mission itself has a history that stretches back to 1917, when baseball hero-turned-religious evangelist Billy Sunday provided $8,400 in seed money to the Buffalo Evangelistic Association to fund its establishment. They operated initially out of a former nightclub on Broadway and moved to their current site in 1984.
