First Homes
First Homes Properties was launched in 1999 as an initiative of the Rochester Area Foundation with the goal of assisting individuals and families in the purchase of homes. From the beginning, First Homes has been organized to provide and develop fast, flexible, responsive leadership to create a permanent, adequate supply of workforce housing in healthy, sustainable neighborhoods through collaborative efforts in the greater Rochester area. http://www.firsthomes.org/
First Steps
First Steps is a collaborative public-private economic development program being spearheaded by the Rochester Area Foundation to assure that our children are ready for school when they enter kindergarten. We are jeopardizing our economic future when children enter the kindergarten classroom not ready to succeed in school. http://www.firststeps.us/
