Arlene and Michael Rosen Foundation

About Arlene and Michael Rosen Foundation

The Arlene and Michael Rosen Foundation’s largest recent grants center on street health and mobile care for people experiencing homelessness, especially in California communities. A $754,728 award to Community Through Hope supported street health program expansion in Chula Vista, followed by a $505,000 grant for South Bay street medicine core operating support. That pattern matches the foundation’s broader emphasis on frontline care, where funding often covers staffing, operating capacity, and program expansion rather than narrow project-only awards. The foundation also backs organizations that connect health care, outreach, and recovery services. Father Joe’s Villages received $300,000 for street health program expansion, and Mendonoma Health Alliance received $225,000 for a mobile medical clinic program, paramedic clinic staffing costs, and community health worker staffing. Other grants support community-based primary care, harm reduction, peer support, and behavioral health. Across the recent grants list, repeat awards appear frequently, with several organizations receiving support in more than one year. The overall picture is of a California-centered funder that favors direct service providers, flexible support, and practical funding for clinics, outreach teams, and community health infrastructure.
