Background
Incorporated in 1979 with the purpose of developing an organization that could meet the housing needs of city residents who were unable to access traditional assistance, while helping to revitalize neighborhoods. The organization’s geographic service area has expanded twice, and NeighborWorks Rochester serves the entire city of Rochester. Today, we offer homeownership education and home improvement lending programs, technical services, such as lead testing and construction management, and Healthy Blocks, our targeted neighborhood initiative.

Mission
NeighborWorks Rochester collaborates with people and partners to strengthen, sustain and promote city neighborhoods.
