RAISEUP FAMILIES

Clients of RaiseUp Families come into our program struggling to keep a roof over their heads, even facing the possibility of homelessness because of unexpected circumstances.
RaiseUp Families provides nine months of comprehensive case management, including a needs assessment, development of a self-sufficiency plan, supportive counseling, and advocacy. Families are provided interim assistance to remain in their current apartment or to move to an apartment zoned to their current school to ensure children receive an uninterrupted school year. While clients work on individual goals and seek or retain employment, RaiseUp Families assists with basic living expenses, such as rent, utilities, transportation, childcare, and job-related education and training, ensuring the family’s financial independence at completion of the program.
