Reconnecting Communities

Since 2018

The Power of Neighborhood

Hinge Neighbors works alongside residents and community partners currently separated by the Inner Loop North to encourage and prepare neighbors to talk to city consultants and staff about their future. Rochester is a city that has not historically listened well. Our involvement will guide residents toward an improved community identity reflecting its history in the city. And, in the end, a thriving and safe neighborhood here will improve Rochester as a whole.
