“Rose is a proven asset to our team,” said Jake Beaty, CEO of Rebuild Upstate. “As a housing and community development nonprofit, our role is to be a puzzle-solver for the community. We help put together pieces so community members have things they need, like good homes that people can afford. We can’t do that without champions like Rose, who bring together housing advocates, businesses, churches, and other community development organizations to create positive change.”
