We are pleased to announce that we are now an approved lender for the City of Rochester Buy the Block program.
About Buy the Block
Some neighborhoods in the city of have experienced a long history of disinvestment, resulting in deep and ongoing challenges. Today, focused programs like Buy The Block are working to strengthen these neighborhoods by generating investment and creating homeownership opportunities.
Buy The Block builds new single-family, high-quality homes in under-invested areas of the city. The homes are then sold to qualified first-time homebuyers who will spend no more than 30 percent of their income on housing.
The first phase of Buy The Block was focused on properties in Northeast Rochester, between Upper Falls Boulevard and Clifford, Clinton, and Hudson Avenues. Construction of up to thirty-two houses in the second phase of Buy The Block in Southwest Rochester has begun.
