Who the Rose supports

The Rose primarily supports families who are experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity. We began operations at The Rose in November 2024 and have since completed renovations on 24 apartments (5-bedroom, 4-bedroom, 3-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 1-bedroom units). Each floor has designated play/common spaces for families that houses various games and books available to residents. The Rose also offers recreational programming for families.

This is a referral based intake program.

“The day we moved into our four-bedroom unit, I let go of a breath I didn’t know I was holding. I walked around the space with tears of gratitude running down my face. My children ran through the rooms, laughing and claiming their spaces. For the first time in a long while, we felt safe.”
