Parsippany, NJLocal News

Rose House has announced its annual 50-50 raffle fundraiser to support the "Forever Home Project," which aims to provide affordable housing for 12 adults with special needs by 2027. This initiative will be developed on a 14. 7-acre site in Chester Township, previously home to the Glenlora Nursing Home. The organization's CEO, Tom Mitchell, emphasized the urgent need for special needs housing, citing that approximately 10,000 adults with disabilities in New Jersey are currently in need of services. Last year's raffle raised a remarkable $10,560, reflecting strong community engagement.

The project will feature single-occupancy apartments, transportation vans, and daily caregiver support to enhance the quality of life for residents. Tickets are available for $10 each, and the drawing will take place on December 18, allowing participation without the need for the winner to be present. Rose House is committed to ensuring that individuals with developmental disabilities receive lifelong support and dignity. For more information, interested individuals can contact Rose House directly.
