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.
