Rise began in 2019 with a group of women determined to make a difference. Out of our own unique challenges, we found purpose in helping others overcome theirs and committed ourselves to changing lives. That vision took shape in our pilot Rise Home, where over 18 months we welcomed 12 women and children into a safe, supportive environment. Surrounded by community, resources, and care, they found stability and healing—our final family transitioned into their own apartment in May 2023. The pilot deepened our passion and revealed what it truly takes to see lives transformed. Today, that passion has become reality: in July 2025 we purchased the permanent Rise Home, set to open in October 2025, creating a place of healing and empowerment for generations to come.​
