Current Opportunity
Project for Pride in Living
“At PPL, we integrate housing and services to enrich the whole community and to deepen connections among people. We are excited at the prospect of having a Rose Fellow help us in our quest to provide a beautiful, and sustainable, place for everyone.”
— Chris Wilson, Director of Development, PPL
Must affordability mean less than quality design or barebones systems and maintenance? Project for Pride in Living (PPL) in Minneapolis answers this question with a resounding, “No.” For 25 years, PPL has focused on providing the City’s most in need with affordable, dignified, attractive housing that is well maintained and well managed. But five new projects will aim even higher, adopting Green design standards and a commitment to providing top-notch, consistently handsome buildings. Fostering a sensitivity to these standards will fall to the Rose Fellow, who will in turn gain the tangible development experience of striving for the best amid real-world constraints.
Mission
Project for Pride in Living assists individuals and families with lower incomes to work toward self-sufficiency by providing housing, jobs and training. We create opportunities for growth through several integrated programs: Affordable Housing, Jobs and Employment Readiness Training, Personal & Community Support Services and Youth Development. Founded in 1972, PPL is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping families with lower incomes develop the tools they need to achieve self-sufficiency. PPL’s earliest activities were devoted to increasing the supply of affordable, quality housing as a stabilizing force in the inner city neighborhoods of Minneapolis.
