ROSE makes homeownership possible for hardworking families. For most American families, their home is their most valuable asset, a path to a secure financial future and a meaningful ownership stake in the community. ROSE makes purchasing a home affordable for first-time buyers by using a combination of innovative financing programs, government initiatives and partnerships with lenders. ROSE can help first-time buyers purchase a home for less than what they currently pay in rent.

ROSE built new homes in the Brentwood-Darlington Neighborhood on SE 81st Avenue.
