On February 23, 2009, Schumer visited Cheektowaga along with Congressman Brian Higgins and announced their new legislation to help combat the vacant housing blight in the Buffalo area and across the country. The new legislation would create a pilot program, which Schumer and Higgins vowed to fight to implement in Buffalo, that would send grants to both small and large cities across the country to help address the many problems associated with vacant properties.
