If you have participated in Healthy Blocks, our NeighborWorks^® Rochester targeted neighborhood initiative, you are sure to have met Michelle Bilock. As the Program Assistant for Healthy Blocks, Michelle works primarily with residents in targeted neighborhoods to improve their communities through physical and social investments. She enjoys “being out in the neighborhood, getting to know residents and seeing change and growth in their homes and hearts.”

Before beginning her position here in 2012 as the Healthy Blocks Program Assistant, Michelle lived in San Francisco, working and volunteering throughout the city. Even though she is in a new city with a slight temperature adjustment, you can still find Michelle thoroughly involved in Rochester, both through volunteering and working.

Although being extensively involved in the city through Healthy Blocks and other endeavors, Miss. Bilock enjoys a variety of activities in her spare time. She is active outdoors, very involved with her church, and loves to read a good book or watch good cinema. If you see her friendly face out and about in Rochester, be sure to say hello!
