MISSION
ROSE CDC builds community and strengthens neighborhood economies to Revitalize Outer South East Portland.

WHO WE SERVE
ROSE takes a comprehensive approach toward strengthening outer southeast Portland neighborhoods. We believe good homes give people the opportunity to build better lives. More than one hundred of our homes were designed for people with special needs including seniors, the disabled, and child care providers. Attention to detail, oversight and long-standing collaboration with service providers are the reason that this housing fits into the neighborhood fabric and operates smoothly day after day. Our people and projects reflect the diversity of our community. ROSE initiatives include building two parks, creation of a support program for in-home child care providers and restoration of a wetland.
