MORRIS PLAINS — Rose House, a nonprofit that establishes residences for adults with developmental disabilities, is organizing a fundraiser for its Forever Home Project. This initiative aims to create a 12-unit apartment complex catering to special needs adults in Morris County.
To participate, you can purchase $10 tickets or request them by contacting (973) 984-0006 or emailing contact@therosehouse.org.
The winner will be chosen during the annual board meeting on Thursday, December 14. Last year’s event successfully raised $8,000 for Rose House, with the winner receiving an equal amount.
CEO Tom Mitchell of Rose House highlighted the significance of the 2022 jackpot amount, explaining that around 8,000 New Jersey adults with disabilities require services. To address the pressing need for specialized housing, Rose House is actively organizing fundraisers like the annual raffle. The support from the community plays a pivotal role in ensuring the project’s success.
The upcoming apartment complex will consist of 12 single-occupancy apartments tailored to adults with developmental disabilities. Additionally, there will be a wheelchair-accessible van for safe transportation, caregivers available daily, and integration into the local community through employment opportunities and social gatherings.
