What Guides Us:
Our Mission:
The Roosevelt Neighborhood Association (RNA) facilitates inclusive community and business engagement efforts to help build an equitable, enjoyable, and forward-looking Roosevelt.
Our Vision:
To help build a community where everyone can live, work, shop, and play with a variety of high quality housing, transportation, businesses, schools, and community spaces for a happy and secure life.
Our Values:
- Inclusivity: We welcome everyone who lives, works, or plays in or near Roosevelt to help us achieve our vision.
- Equity: We believe that the quality of a person’s experience in the RNA, Roosevelt, and the surrounding community should not be determined by race, sex, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, national origin, disability, economic, housing status, or any other designation or group membership.
- Future-orientation: We both celebrate Roosevelt’s history and proactively collaborate with our neighbors and partners to envision and plan for the future of our neighborhood.
- Community engagement: We support meaningful community engagement and access to understandable information to expedite our neighbors’ involvement in the neighborhood and beyond.
The Roosevelt Neighborhood Association is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation registered in the state of Washington.
What We Do:
We organize a monthly “Adopt a Street” that brings your neighbors together to keep the streets of Roosevelt clean and beautiful.
