WHO WE ARE From the President Providing Stability in an Unsteady World August 24, 2021 - Rosie’s Place has always provided a safety net for women living on the edge. But when the global pandemic created an economic crisis that in turn has spurred the threat of widespread evictions—we became a lifeline. Since March of 2020, we have been helping more women than ever before stay housed and healthy. Judith's Story July 25, 2021 - In March of 2020, when we were all asked to shelter in place, the three-week stays of guests in our Overnight Shelter were extended indefinitely. Many of those 20 women stayed with us for more than a year. Judith is one such guest. While the pandemic stopped so much, it couldn’t slow her down. Celebrating Kip Tiernan June 17, 2021 - Today, we celebrate what would have been Kip’s 95th birthday. Happy Mother's Day from Rosie's Place!

Become an Advocate for Change September 16, 2020 - Advocating for legislation and addressing issues that impact our guests’ well-being has always been central to what we do at Rosie’s Place–and it is more critical today than ever before.

Standing Together June 1, 2020 - Our community is mourning, and our city is on fire. Many say that the system is broken. In truth, it was never right to begin with—it was built to oppress and disenfranchise. It’s not enough to burn it down. We also have to build the world we want to live in.
