The Community Place of Greater Rochester is a nonprofit organization based in Rochester, New York, that aims to broaden access to health, economic, and social opportunities for residents regardless of who they are or where they live. It formed from the consolidation of the Lewis Street Center, Genesee Settlement House, and Eastside Community Center, and now operates programs and facilities in Rochester's northeast and across the wider region. The organization offers a wide range of social, developmental, and educational programs to a diverse audience, including children, teens, families, seniors, and people with developmental disabilities. As a neighborhood-based community hub, CPGR seeks to provide growth, empowerment, and stability for those it serves and continues the settlement house tradition in Rochester. The organization employs a mid-sized staff and serves the greater Rochester area from its central location. In June 2026, it announced that its president and CEO, Scott C. Benjamin, plans to retire in the first quarter of 2027, signaling a forthcoming leadership transition.
