Mission Statement:

...to make available and affordable apartments to be known as the Rodney Scheel House, where low income families with a member disabled by HIV can make their home and live independently in a caring community.

Description:
The Rodney Scheel House is an independent living apartment community designed to provide low cost housing for people living with HIV/AIDS.

We operate on the principle that a "community" includes a place where a person gets to be the best he or she can be, as well as the people to help accomplish what one can't do alone.

The Rodney Scheel House works with the resdients to identify, offer and make affordable various support services that are appropriate to the individuals' needs.

Our physical environment offers efficiency, one, and two bedroom apartments, designed and maintained to accommodate the needs of persons living with HIV, their families and care givers. We also offer a very welcoming community space allowing for activities and communal meals. We also have a beautiful community garden and well-kept landscaping, further promoting community activities.

History:
The Rodney Scheel House Foundation was organized in 1992. The land was acquired in November of 1994 and construction started soon thereafter. The first tenants moved in August of 1995. There are two buildings, one with six units, and the other has seventeen units, with a community room and two offices. There are nine efficiency, nine one-bedroom and five two-bedroom units.
