RADO was initiated in 1998 by a few dedicated individuals from the Riverside
Avondale Preservation Society (RAP). The initial goal was small: rebuilding a home destroyed by a fire in a marginal part of the neighborhood. The task proved to be more complex than imagined for an all volunteer group and in 2001,
RADO sought
LISC Jacksonville's
support to prepare for the next round of projects.
RADO continues to pursue new development opportunities in Riverside
Avondale and surrounding neighborhoods. To date,
RADO has developed and sold over 20 single -family homes.
