Our mission goes beyond just providing shelter. We strive to facilitate access to essential services, create opportunities for growth and development, and, most importantly, cultivate a sense of belonging and community among our residents.
Roses Health and Home Program is a 501c3 nonprofit organization, chartered by the State of North Carolina, committed to providing safe, healthy, and nurturing environments for individuals at risk of homelessness. From skilled professionals struggling to make ends meet to veterans with disabilities, we provide holistic support to those in need. Our approach transcends the provision of mere shelter. Instead, we aim to foster personal growth and community connection among our residents, building the foundation for a brighter, more secure future.
Support our mission: shelter, essential services, growth, community, belonging. Donate to make a lasting impact on lives. Together, we thrive.
We have initiated a robust project to establish tiny and group homes across the Charlotte area. By creating these homes, we aim to provide affordable living spaces, significantly below the average rental prices in our region. We are currently acquiring suitable land and have partnered with an experienced builder ready to commence construction.
We have identified a pressing need for support among at-risk youths in Charlotte, particularly those aging out of foster care. Our special program for these individuals includes providing safe housing and helping them gain access to essential services like education, counseling, job placements, and career training. We strive to be their extended family and support system.
We provide housing and critical support for our nation's heroes. We strongly believe that veterans, especially those dealing with physical or mental disabilities, should have easy access to affordable homes, as well as essential health care services. Through our services, we aim to lessen the burden and provide a safe, comfortable living environment.
While we strive to improve living conditions locally, we also extend our help to homeless adults and youth homes in need of repair worldwide. Until we establish our homes overseas, we provide financial assistance to ensure that these individuals and institutions access necessary amenities, avoiding potential health risks and adversities.
CEO Message
Dr. Rose Terrelonge had been employed in the New York State Courts for over
twenty years. She always had a passion for entrepreneurship so during this
period she attended school part-time, eventually receiving a bachelor’s degree
in business administration from Baruch College. After retirement she
commenced her entrepreneueral journey by owning and operating a restaurant
and later a clothing store. She also had a keen interest in maintaining optimal
health and weight control which led to her pursuing a Ph.D. in public health as
well as exploring alternative health modalities. Her ultimate goal is developing
communities which facilitate healthy living and quality housing for all.
Dr. Rose has volunteered extensively for institutions which are dedicated to
serving vulnerable populations and homeless individuals.. She has volunteered
through her church for the Room in the Inn Program, Habitat for Humanity, and
Urban ministries. She developed an interest in addressing the needs of the
homeless population in Charlotte, N.C. when as a member of the Rotary
International Club of Charlotte she had the opportunity to meet a group of youth
who had aged out of the foster care system. She discovered they were
sleeping in the streets because the agency which served them had no room to
accommodate them at night. She plans to develop a community of tiny homes
to serve the youth population. Eventually, she plans to serve other homeless
individuals in Charlotte, throughout the United States and worldwide.
