Living Opportunities!

DDAWNY is pleased to announce the availability of a new tool for sharing information. The Living Opportunities page provides a mechanism for member agencies to announce residential vacancies in certified sites and for individuals and family members to view current openings. Click on the Living Opportunities menu bar to the left to see how this works or click the "Read More" button below to find out how to post a vacancy.
If your agency has a current or anticipated residential vacancy and if
you would like to have the vacancy included on the site, please click on the "Living
Opportunities" tab on the left of the screen. You will need to download
the electronic template (Living Opportunities Form) and have a
designated staff person complete the form. Information will be
automatically submitted to Victoria Cook at the WNYDDSO for review and
verification. DDAWNY will post the vacancy announcement to the webpage
for community viewing. Please note that photos and/or addresses of
residences are not permitted.

Once a vacancy has been filled, you may contact Vicci directly or via
the template to have the posting removed.

If you have additional questions about this process, please contact Wendy McCarthy
at (716) 877-7007 or send her an email using the Contact Us box at the upper left of this page.
