Rochester’s Peace Village Plan | Rochester News

Rochester is rolling out a bold new plan to fight homelessness with Peace Village, a transitional community set to launch before winter using $1 million from the Opioid Compensation Fund—funding that’ll cover shelters, staff, and daily operations. Designed with 19 pallet shelters, it’s not just about housing but also offering critical support like case management and healthcare for those struggling with substance use, mental health, or medical issues. Already partially funded last year with $750K for site prep, the city now seeks final approval from City Council in September—with Monroe County stepping in with additional backing—to give unsheltered adults a real chance to rebuild their lives.
