First Universalist has often witnessed the homeless issue, often on its doorstep in the alcoves. Homelessness has been chosen by the congregation as Church Project at its Annual Meeting in June 2023. We have named the project Housing for All.

 

Housing for All will provide education about the issue. Serve, by providing meals, supplies, volunteer opportunities, fundraising, and coordinating with organizations already deep into serving the population of the unhoused. Advocate for legislation that supports the unhoused with services and affordable housing.

Here is how you can learn about the issues in Rochester:

Person Centered Housing Options

REACH Advocacy

Family Promise of Greater Rochester (FPGROC, formerly RAIHN) 

The Children’s Agenda
