Our Commitment to Sustainability, Equity and Social Justice as a Member of Built Green
Vision
Roosevelt Builders envisions a future where everyone—regardless of race, background, or income—has access to sustainable, high-quality housing and feels a deep sense of belonging in the spaces we build.
Mission
Our mission is to build communities that reflect equity, inclusion, and environmental stewardship. We are committed to dismantling systemic barriers in the housing and construction industry by fostering partnerships, hiring practices, and development strategies that create opportunities for historically marginalized groups.
Our Core Values
Equity & Access
We believe that everyone deserves a fair opportunity to live in healthy, beautiful, and sustainable communities.
Representation Matters
We actively engage diverse voices in our decision-making—from staff to subcontractors to community stakeholders.
Transparency & Accountability
We openly share our commitments and hold ourselves and our partners to high standards of equity and justice.
Collaboration
We create stronger projects by listening to and building with communities, not just in them.
Continuous Learning
We acknowledge that the work of equity is ongoing and commit to learning, evolving, and improving every day.
Joy in Justice
We believe that equitable building creates spaces not only of fairness—but of joy, beauty, and dignity.
