The City of Rochester Launches Pilot Program to Address Panhandling

Like cities across America, Rochester has seen an increase in consistent and aggressive panhandling. These behaviors negatively impact people who work, live and visit downtown, as well as businesses that want to attract customers to their brick-and-mortar stores.

The City of Rochester is committed to exploring innovative solutions to this challenge, and “Be The Change. Keep The Change.” is one of them.
