Arab community in Buffalo, New York
Buffalo has emerged as a major refugee resettlement destination, and Arab refugees have played a significant role in the city's revitalization. The West Side neighborhood in particular has been transformed by immigrant entrepreneurship, with Iraqi, Yemeni, and Syrian families opening restaurants, grocery stores, and other businesses.
The Iraqi community in Buffalo includes both Muslims and Christians (Chaldeans) who fled violence and persecution in their homeland. Many arrived through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, and the community has grown as families have been reunited and new refugees have settled.
Yemeni refugees have also found a home in Buffalo, fleeing civil war and humanitarian crisis. The city's affordable housing, strong resettlement services, and welcoming community have made it an attractive destination for families seeking safety and opportunity.
Buffalo's West Side has become a vibrant international district where Arabic, Burmese, Swahili, and other languages mix on the streets. This diversity has created a supportive environment for new arrivals, with established immigrants helping newcomers navigate American life.
The city's declining population has reversed in part due to refugee resettlement, and Buffalo has embraced its role as a sanctuary for those fleeing persecution. Local government and community organizations actively support refugee integration, creating a welcoming environment for Arab families.

“Applied for TPS right when Yemen got designated. She filed everything same week I contacted her. Work permit came through in about ten weeks. Quick and efficient.”

“Employment-based green card through my hospital job. Took longer than I hoped, about two and a half years total, but she kept me updated throughout and handled an RFE that could have derailed everything. Got my card last spring.”
