At Our West Bayfront, we believe every neighbor deserves to live in a safe, beautiful, welcoming community where they feel connected, valued, and at home.
We serve one of Erie’s most vibrant and diverse communities — a place filled with history, resilience, creativity, and deep pride. Many of our residents face real challenges, including poverty, housing instability, eviction, and the everyday pressures of living in a community that has experienced years of disinvestment. But what we see most clearly is the strength of our neighbors and their commitment to building something better together.
Our mission is rooted in working side-by-side with residents to strengthen housing, support local businesses, improve public spaces, and create opportunities for neighbors to connect. With a small but mighty team, Our West Bayfront renovates blighted properties into quality affordable homes, hosts free family-friendly events, supports community safety and beautification efforts, and helps residents access the resources they need to thrive.
Your Erie Gives gift helps us do the work that can’t wait: creating safe and affordable homes, caring for parks and shared spaces, strengthening commercial corridors, supporting resident leadership, and building a stronger, more connected West Bayfront — block by block, neighbor by neighbor.
