Housing

When RRRS first started it was clear that our refugee families needed to have places to live where they were comfortable and safe, and had support as they learned about their new country. We recognized this need as an opportunity, not only to help our families, but also to have housing serve as our base. We are far more than landlords. We get to know each family well and help them to sort out the challenges they face in a new land and new culture. Our housing stock continues to grow as we help our families make their new life here in Rochester.
