This community was named in honor of long-term Mercy Housing affiliate board member and lifelong downtown Roseville resident, Frederic Lohse. Fred Lohse (1943-2016) was a passionate, life-long advocate for affordable housing. Fred spent nearly his entire adult life living in downtown Roseville just a few blocks from the 623 Vernon Street site. He joined Mercy Housing’s affiliate Rural California Housing Corporation (RCHC) Board of Directors in 1987 and served consistently until his death in 2016. From 2000 to 2008, Fred also served on the Mercy Housing California Board of Directors as the RCHC representative. He was a Planning Commissioner for the City of Roseville and sat on the Roseville Cemetery Board.
