PARSIPPANY — Rose House is excited to announce the commencement of its annual 50-50 raffle fundraiser, with all proceeds dedicated to supporting the nonprofit organization’s Forever Home Project. This ambitious initiative includes the development of a 12-unit apartment facility designed for adults with special needs in Morris County.
With approximately 10,000 adults with disabilities in New Jersey requiring services, the need for special-needs housing options has never been more urgent.
“As people with developmental disabilities age out of school systems and as their parents grow older, we are committed to addressing this pressing issue by providing the necessary care for these individuals,” said Rose House CEO Tom Mitchell. “We can only achieve this through the support of our community, including fundraising events such as our annual raffle.”
The new apartment complex will feature:
- 12 single occupancy apartments specifically designed for adults with developmental disabilities.
- A handicap-accessible van dedicated to providing safe transportation for apartment residents.
- Trained caregivers available to residents each day, as needed.
- Integration into the local community through employment options and social events.
Raffle ticket information:
- Last year’s 50-50 raffle event raised a record-breaking $9,355 for Rose House, with a lucky winner receiving a matching amount.
- Tickets are priced at $10.00 each.
- To purchase raffle tickets, call Rose House at (973) 984-0006 or email contact@therosehouse.org.
- The winning ticket will be drawn on December 19, 2024, and the winner does not need to be present.
