About RPNA

Established in 1978, the Roosevelt Park Neighborhood Association has worked to make our neighborhood a safe, attractive place for our residents. Our funding comes from multiple sources, including CDBG funds which are administered through the City of Grand Rapids; ongoing gifts from foundations; and from our area’s businesses and residents. Our staff includes 1 Director and 2 Crime Prevention Organizers who are bilingual in English and Spanish. RPNA’s board of directors includes 10 members —mostly people who live in the neighborhood. In the early 1990’s, the RPNA recognized that Grandville Avenue is the key to the success of the rest of the neighborhood, and we have focused many of our resources on this critical corridor.
