The Buffalo Niagara Association of Realtors hosted a discussion on affordable housing Monday and those in attendance said they hope more can be done to make it more accessible to all.

They also pointed to ongoing construction for new affordable housing on Adams Street in Buffalo.

"This is really exciting especially for realtors. I mean, we are adding new product, desperately needed product, to the Western New York housing market and in particular were working in the city of Buffalo especially," Jocelyn Gordon, executive director, Buffalo Erie Niagara Land Improvement Company, said.

According to the Buffalo Erie Niagara Land Improvement Company, 12 new single-family homes will be built on vacant lots on a block of Adams St.
