Rochester, NY
OUR HISTORY
The Greater Rochester Housing Partnership was created in 1992 to spur the development of affordable housing in and around Rochester, NY. After extensive deliberation, a task force established by then Mayor Ryan determined that a Partnership model would be the best tool for increasing the funding and therefore the volume of affordable housing in our community. The Partnership was established as a stand alone non-profit corporation with initial capitalization from the city of Rochester.
OUR MISSION
The Greater Rochester Housing Partnership is a non-profit corporation whose mission is to preserve and increase the supply of affordable housing in the Rochester area by:
Creating, identifying, obtaining and managing the financial tools necessary to maintain and develop affordable housing that will build equity and add value to the economic life of its residents and the community in which it is located.
Identifying gaps in financing through communication with providers and supporters of affordable housing and seek resources to fill the gaps and efficiently and effectively manage those resources.
Overcoming financial and other barriers to increase the availability of affordable housing through partnerships with developers, municipalities, community partners and potential consumers of affordable housing.
