OUR MISSION: "ROAR Encourages and Facilitates Age-Friendly Communities, which are Livable, Sustainable, Affordable, Accessible, and Inclusive."

We need your help to secure our ability to develop approximately 200 homes, community facilities and programs, in three incredible, self-sustaining neighborhoods.

ROAR Loops Affordable Home Neighborhoods are planned in three, rural, unincorporated California Delta/Bay Area communities, each:

Entirely unserved by public transit of any kind.

Have high risk of power outages.

Have high risk of access to safe, reliable drinking water.
Have a significant shortage of affordable housing options.
Have limited community resources.
High numbers of older adults, veterans, and disabled adults.
Have struggling, low-income economies.
in which ROAR has secured excellent, private-sale to nonprofit purchase agreements with generous land owners, committed to the well-being of their communities -- something we find unique to rural communities.

Here, ROAR Loop Neighborhoods can offer each of these communities a village of small, manageable homes, designed in an inclusive and diverse village-style format, to meet the full loop of needs for older adults, veterans, and disabled adults...

A safe, energy efficient home with no utility bills.
Free transportation options and last-mile transit connection shuttle.
Disaster resilient resources of benefit to the entire community.
A microgrid powered and stored energy community, operated by the resident cooperative, the "Loop Coop", to ensure access to power.
On-site water storage and mobile delivery capability in disasters.
Community activities and opportunities for workforce development, education, and multigenerational engagement.
A Working Community Food Garden (and Orchard in Byron)
A Dog Park
A Public-access Community Center with gathering spaces, free laundry facilities, fitness center, and excercise pool.
Public-access, low-cost EV charging facility.

WE NEED YOUR HELP.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW...

ROAR's leadership team was carefully formed in 2021, to include a diverse board of inspiring professionals WHO LIVE IN THESE COMMUNITIES, from a variety of expertise, each necessary for the successful development and operation of affordable home communities and resident services.
We are ready to begin. We have confirmed the zoning use-rights are compatible and welcomed by local planning agencies, have secured technical assistance, grants, energy and water programs assistance, home builders, site development contractors, feasability studies, clean Phase 1 reports, etc. -- and our development budgets and timelines in place.
Grant funding and low-interest loans are difficult to take advantage of without use-rights of the land we intend to build upon. We need your help to purchase these three parcels, each on the edge of the San Francisco Bay Area, and provide for:

Three neighborhoods, approximately 200 homes, community facilities and programs, in three incredible, self-sustaining neighborhoods.
A total of 32, flat and level acres.
Two, with waterfront access for publicly accessible clean-boating facilities and fishing docks,
Two, with existing commercial units - these provide a neighborhood-sustaining funding resource.

The cost to secure and permit all three properties is $2,500,000.

These are bargains and opportunities to serve those most in need that we cannot afford to lose. Please, help us fulfill our mission and commitment to the communities we know and love.

THANK YOU.
