In February 2022, Governor Kathy Hochul announced a $57 million commitment to upgrading McCarley Gardens, an affordable housing development just south of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus. However, renovations did not go as expected for residents. Residents shared various concerns, including poor communication about renovation timelines, unsafe environments such as hanging electrical wires and non-fenced-in building materials, and loss of heat and electricity for extended periods. Due to improper construction, other residents have experienced property damage, including rodent and insect infestation. Kelly Camacho, Community Organizer at Citizen Action, and Dennice Barr, activist, Fruit Belt Advisory Council president, and community liaison, talk with host Dejia James about what's happening at McCarley Gardens. They dive deeper into resident concerns, their work organizing residents, and what should happen next so residents are guaranteed a safe place to live.  To learn more about our work, visit our website at ⁠ppgbuffalo.org⁠.

The Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus (BNMC) is a sprawling 120-acre complex engaging in collaborative research, clinical care and education activities among member institutions, but like just about every workplace it found that changing work habits combined with the need for fresh, healthier, more appealing options challenged the resources of the onsite dining program, especially in the wake of the pandemic. Enter high-tech solutions, in this case a series of “smart fridge” units from vendor Byte Technology that can be placed in just about any location where there are sufficient numbers of customers seeking high-quality options conveniently offered round the clock. In addition, the team at BNMC was able to forge relationships with local suppliers and producers so that not only do the onsite customers benefit but so does the local economy. The result is that the staff working at BNMC now have fresh, healthy meal and snack options in easily and conveniently accessible service outlets round the clock. In this One On One With podcast segment, Elizabeth Machnica, director of community well-being, and Marla Guarino, farm-to-institution program coordinator, talk about why the Byte fridges were deployed, how they are managed, what they stock and what value they bring to both the onsite and offsite communities.

David has spent 25 years working in urban settings and within the context of public engagement, including guiding the planning of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus since its inception in 2002.
