Shop with a Cop 2006

The Resident Resources Program
ROSE Community Development created the Resident Resources program in 2001 to support families who live at ROSE properties with programs for children, referrals to community resources and ways to get involved to improve their own housing community. These include: ROSE's relationship to its tenants includes more making sure the garbage is collected and the faucets don't leak. We maintain relationships with support services in the community to help tenants with emergency food provisions, household items, vocational training, educational resources, childcare, job-search support and more.

Partnerships and Programs
Residents of ROSE rental housing -- especially young children -- can take advantage of an exciting array of community programs in Outer Southeast. For example, children in ROSE housing go back-to-school shopping with Portland police officers as part of the police bureau's "Shop with a Cop" program. Residents are also eligible to participate in Youth$ave, a program that teaches kids how to save and manage money, and Where I Live, which helps kids take photos and write stories about their neighborhood.

Community Involvement
Residents at ROSE properties have a say in improving their community. ROSE's Resident Council meets monthly to plan educational programs, fun activities, field trips and social gatherings.

Funding
The Resident Resources Program relies on donations from individuals and businesses and grants. Your donations help us augment our affordable housing with a strong and supportive resource program that is critical to community-building.
