Properties at 231 Humboldt (left) and 17 Glendale (right) were renovated through the college’s Hamlin Park Initiative.
Canisius employees are eligible to purchase homes renovated as part of the Hamlin Park Initiative through the college’s Employer Assisted Housing Program (EAH).
The EAH Program enables eligible, full-time Canisius employees to purchase homes in the city of Buffalo. Employees receive grants in the form of forgivable loans to assist with down payments or closing costs associated with the purchase of homes in eligible neighborhoods. Loans are forgiven over five years assuming that the employee remains with the college and lives in the home. Because the two newly-renovated homes are within the Hamlin Park neighborhood, they qualify for an enhanced benefit: a loan of 10 percent of the purchase price or $7,000, whichever is less.
Since its inception in 2002, the EAH Program has assisted 30 Canisius employees to purchase homes in Buffalo.
The properties at 17 Glendale and 231 Humboldt Parkway are ready for sale through the Hamlin Park Initiative. In partnership with Belmont Housing Resources of Western New York, renovations to the homes included new roofs, gutters, windows, masonry repairs and paint, as well as interior upgrades to the electrical, lighting, plumbing and heating systems. The kitchens and bathrooms were also modernized.

September’s health tips from the Employee Assistance Program
What does healthy aging mean to you? We all age at a different rate and we each have a different perspective about what aging is. There are, however, many areas in which we can be proactive and take control of how well we age. It’s never too early, or too late, to take steps to age well!
5 Tips to Healthy Aging
- Proper Nutrition – eating healthy, well-balanced meals with plenty of fruits and vegetables is critical to keeping you healthy. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, and limit alcohol consumption.
- Exercise 30 to 60 minutes a day – be sure to include both aerobic activity (biking, swimming, walking, running) and anaerobic activity (weight lifting, resistant bands, exercise machines)
- Get Enough Sleep! – other than eating right and drinking enough water, sleep is the most important form of recovery. Without proper sleep, our immune function decreases and our minds become more susceptible to diseases of dementia. Deep sleep is crucial for hormonal regulation.
- Refrain From Smoking – we all know about the dangers of smoking to our health, but smokers also tend to age faster than non-smokers, and have deeper lines and wrinkles on their faces.
- Stay Active – do something you have dreamed about – volunteer, join a group, have a strong social support system, travel, or whatever else you can think of to challenge your mind and keep moving!
