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.
