Rockwood is your neighbor. When we raise Rockwood, we raise Oregon.

We're excited to launch a powerful campaign, "Raise the Numbers," aimed at garnering support for our initiatives that are focused on:

  • Increasing Health Outcomes
  • Providing New Housing Solutions
  • Expanding Economic Development

Our Initiatives

As a community development corporation in Oregon, we serve as a hub or backbone to provide ladders for climbing from poverty into prosperity. Our work improves health outcomes, integrates faith-based and family service programs, creates public-private partnerships, expands the supply of economical housing, and encourages and assists commercial development.
