ROSE Community Development

Mission

ROSE builds affordable homes and community to make outer southeast neighborhoods strong and equitable.

Bottom Line

For nearly thirty-five years, ROSE has been rooted in place in outer southeast Portland, among the most diverse neighborhoods in our city. We have created over 500 affordable homes for families, individuals, and seniors living with low income. Housing is just the beginning; we believe good homes give people the chance to grow and engage in community, and to become leaders of a stronger, more inclusive and equitable future.

Quote

“I never imagined I would get housing. I thought I was going to be homeless forever. When I came to look at my new place, it was a dream come true. When I had my daughter, I knew that she was going to grow up in stable housing. She will be able to grow and succeed in life.” -ROSE Resident since 2008
