The Frederick P. Rose Architectural Fellowship was established in 1999
by Enterprise Community Partners, a national non-profit housing and
community development organization. The Fellowship creates
partnerships between emerging architects and community-based
organizations to direct the skills and passions of the architects in
the service of low and moderate-income communities. The Fellowship is
designed to promote the value of quality design and green building in
affordable housing and encourages architects to become lifelong
leaders in public service and community development. The Fellowship
honors the late Frederick P. Rose, the prominent developer and
philanthropist, who believed strongly in the value of good design and
the spirit of public service.
