The Perinton Congregations for Greater Rochester Habitat for Humanity (formerly known as the Perinton Congregations for Flower City Habitat for Humanity) has built eight home since 1999. In 2023, we partnered with five other faith-based coalitions in order to build a new home annually. The six faith-based coalition, Greater Rochester Interfaith Builders (aka GRIB) all within Monroe County raises funds and recruits volunteers to build homes for the Greater Rochester Habitat for Humanity, a non-denominational Christian housing ministry which welcomes people of all faiths or no faith to help eliminate poverty and substandard housing in Rochester. The coalition includes the Habitat Interfaith Partnership, Harvest Home, Penfield, Greece, Perinton and Brighton. Additional information can be found at - https://www.grhabitat.org/faith-volunteering
