Focus On Renewal Sto-Rox Neighborhood Corporation (FOR) was founded in 1969 by community activists. FOR is an anchor institution and pillar agency in the western communities of Allegheny County. Focus On Renewal was established initially as an anti-poverty program serving the health needs of women and children at four McKees Rocks and Stowe Township locations. To this day, Focus On Renewal (FOR) supports the people in the community and surrounding neighborhoods through programs for all ages dedicated to developing healthy minds, bodies, and spirits.

With a specific focus on the Sto-Rox Community, FOR recognizes the challenges posed by crime, violence, and poverty. FOR is committed to reducing crime rates and dismantling the racially systemic factors that contribute to violence, improving the quality of life and social determinants of health of all our residents and patrons who come through our doors.

To achieve this objective, our approach centers on mitigating the repercussions of violence through education, mental health services, and proactive interventions.
