Transitional Housing Program

About the Program

The Transitional Housing Program provides housing and case management to assist families in successfully navigating Rochester’s challenging affordable housing market.​ Eligible families currently come from internal programs at FPGROC.

Families pay at- or below-market rent and can stay in transitional housing for up to two years. This length of time provides consistency and stability for children and gives families time to establish a positive rental history. Families will build skills and confidence by accessing community resources on financial education, credit repair, and employment stability. Some of these families will even work toward home ownership.

In the summer of 2024, Family Promise of Greater Rochester entered into a partnership with City Roots Community Land Trust and took ownership of two multi-family residential properties in the City of Rochester. These properties will become long-term transitional housing for families exiting homelessness in our community. One property, located in the Marketview Heights Neighborhood, has four separate three-bedroom units. The other property, located in the Beechwood Neighborhood, has four rental units of various sizes and two ground floor commercial spaces.

You can help!

Make a donation to assist us in a needed facelift to the upstairs apartments and back hallway. Projects include new carpet, updated appliances, drywall finishing, and more. These contributions will also support the ongoing maintenance we previously outsourced to our landlord as well as stabilization services for the Transitional Housing Program.
