Healthy Blocks Initiative:  2016 Summary

Background

The Healthy Blocks initiative of NeighborWorks® Rochester has been active in the stabilization of

transitional, weak-market Rochester neighborhoods since 2005. In 2016, Healthy Blocks completed its

third year working with the residents, business owners, and other community stakeholders of The

Triangle neighborhood of North Winton Village – the goals of which is to improve physical conditions,

increase resident engagement & leadership, and improve neighborhood image.

Housing Market

In 2016, 44 homes sold in The Triangle.

The average sale price was $97,511. The

average days on market was 24.5. The

total increase in average sale price since

2014, the year Healthy Blocks targeted

the Triangle, was 27.3%. 2016 saw an

increase in market strength more

dramatic than any year since 2010. Cash

sales continued to decrease, from almost

30% in 2014 to 25.7% in 2015 and 22.7%

in 2016. Conventional mortgages had a

40.9% share of sales, while FHA

mortgages were also high at 34.1%.

Physical Conditions

3 Triangle residents invested in home improvement loans and grants totaling $58,790 through

NeighborWorks® Rochester in 2016, bringing the total amount that NeighborWorks®

Rochester’s Revolving Loan Program has invested in Healthy Blocks projects in the Triangle to

$241,675

4 Triangle residents invested a total of $1,364 in energy-efficient improvements. Since 2014,

NeighborWorks Rochester has invested over $63,000 in home energy improvements in The

Triangle

NWR partnered with NYSERDA and Action Research to continue research on social-behavioral

messaging in energy audit promotion, which resulted in 28 applications for GJGNY audits from

Triangle homeowners

The Half-Bath Program was launched, which has matched 10 eligible Triangle homeowners with

free architectural services to prepare designs and cost estimates for the addition of a half-bath.

This program was based on findings from Health Blocks’ 2015 Triangle Market Study; homes

priced below $65,000 had a 65% chance of selling to an investor and homes with 1.5 bathrooms

sold for, on average, $10,000 more than similar homes with only one bathroom. Adding a half

graphic design, and other efforts to support The Triangle neighborhood

Neighborhood Marketing & Image

Working with residents and community stakeholders, designed a new neighborhood logo that

was voted on by over 80 residents

Worked with the Triangle Merchants Association to create its

version of the logo, which will be used in a full-color ad that

will run monthly in City Newspaper during 2017, reaching an

audience of 85,000 readers

“The Triangle” was mentioned in media including a local TWC

news story and a restaurant review in City Newspaper

Successfully used social media, reaching thousands of people

and engaging hundreds. At the end of the year, the Triangle neighborhood Facebook had 321

likes, and its Instagram had 185 followers

Community Impact Measurement Survey

Completed its second round of CIM surveys with 200 responses from random households

“improving” was stated as a positive factor)

80% of renters would be interested in buying a home in the neighborhood

Press Release
NeighborWorks® Rochester Announces New Healthy Blocks Neighborhood

“…Designation secures 5-year funding and resource commitment
for the neighborhood…”


ROCHESTER, NY, November 12, 2013 – NeighborWorks® Rochester has named the Merchants-Culver-Main Housing Block, “The Triangle” its newest Healthy Blocks target neighborhood. The commitment will offer residents funding and leadership development capacity to reinvest in their homes and neighborhood over a 5-year period beginning January 1, 2014.

The multi-year resource commitment from NeighborWorks® Rochester will create a neighborhood that can effectively compete with other neighborhoods for new residents and homeowners, leading to a healthy, dynamic city.

“Typically when we enter a neighborhood, we gather as much data as possible to understand the neighborhood profile including ‘sense of community’ and ‘housing stock’ assessments,” said Elijah Wade, Program Manager, Neighborhood Revitalization. “The Triangle will be especially unique in that it will be the largest in population density and housing stock we’ve ever pursued. It will be a cumulative boom in the neighborhood when we exit in December, 2018,” said Wade.

NeighborWorks® Rochester is presently surveying residents in The Triangle to measure ‘sense of community’. The organization is also engaging resident volunteers, key leaders within the neighborhood and the City of Rochester. These efforts make possible effectiveness measurement in consecutive years as illustrated in prior Healthy Blocks neighborhoods – Swillburg, The Pocket and Brooks Landing.

Healthy Blocks is a neighborhood place-building strategy designed and implemented by NeighborWorks® Rochester in partnership with residents. Healthy Blocks helps residents organize around a shared vision of the neighborhood that leads to greater social and economic resident reinvestment. This is achieved through projects that improve public spaces, as well as by leveraging home repair and energy improvement resources, developing gateway signage projects, organizing social events and social media efforts.

NeighborWorks® Rochester is a community development nonprofit organization serving the Rochester area since 1979. Our mission is to collaborate with people and partners to strengthen, sustain and promote city neighborhoods. We are a full service housing agency that serves the entire city of Rochester and Monroe County. Through a comprehensive system for homebuyer development, NeighborWorks® Full-Cycle LendingSM, NeighborWorks® Rochester is able to assist families into homeownership and help ensure their long-term success as homeowners.


NeighborWorks® Rochester is a nonprofit charter member of NeighborWorks® America and Community Building & Organizing certified.
