Build Up ROC

Comprehensive Housing Analysis

Facebook Live 5 PM | Friday, March 22

The Build Up Roc Housing Initiative is gaining momentum! Be part of a comprehensive analysis that will amplify and unite our voices to represent varied perspectives.


Accessible and suitable housing options are scarce in our region, especially for individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities. AutismUp is launching a groundbreaking comprehensive housing analysis for Rochester. We aim to identify what's working, pinpoint common housing obstacles, and, most importantly, understand the community's vision for the future. The final report will be instrumental in shaping legislation, removing barriers, securing funding, and bringing hope to families who are worried about the future.
