For more than 40 years, the affiliates of NeighborWorks Community Partners have been providing housing and community development programs for low- to moderate-income people and their families. We have come together across Western NY to be a catalyst for building and strengthening communities, and we will not stay silent about the mass demonstrations happening around us to draw attention to the systemic racism that affects our neighbors every day. We stand by the Black comm...unity and know that change doesn’t happen through words alone. We recognize the challenges in our own daily practices and are committed to doing the work to better the organization. This means taking a hard look at the lack of diversity on our own board, staff and leadership teams, and working with the appropriate consultants to create and implement an organization-wide diversity plan. We urge our white neighbors to become educated about the history of redlining and the impact it has had on Black people and people of color (POC) when trying to purchase homes (and the divide it has created, which is still felt today). Watch documentaries. Listen to podcasts. Read articles and books. When someone tells a racist joke, call them out. Have honest conversations with the people around you about race and racism, what you are doing to contribute to it, and what you can do to change your own actions. Neighborhoods work when neighbors work together. Change starts with us.

If you’re at the start of your homeownership journey, this is for you! Don’t expect to buy a home within a year’s time? This is also for you! Register for one of our FREE monthly Intro to Homebuying orientations, now offered completely online - the next one is Tuesday, 11/10 from 12p-1p.

Beginning October 23, the NCP Rochester team is proud to join hundreds of community members and organizations as part of the 21 Day Racial Equity Challenge. Each day, we will set aside time for staff education through articles, podcasts and videos provided by the 21-Day Racial Equity Challenge to deepen our understanding of racial equity and combat racism in our communities. In addition, NCP is partnering with Causewave Community Partners to establish a board-run Diversi...ty Committee that will take a closer look at the work that we do, our strategies for recruiting staff and board members, and how our practices may impede equitable service delivery. We have a lot of work to do, and we are committed to taking these next steps. There's still time to join us! To learn more, visit https://www.uwrochester.org/equitychallenge
