RISE, Reaching Independence Through Survivor Empowerment, Program

RISE (Reaching Independence through Survivor Empowerment) is an innovative transitional-to-permanent housing program of My Sister's Place (MSP).  MSP works to rebuild clients' credit and budgeting skills, help them secure employment and leases in their own names, and provide a gradually declining rental subsidy for 12 months (with the option to extend up to an additional 12 months).



My Sister's Place provides transitional housing for individuals who are no longer in need of the security that accompanies a confidential shelter, but who are not yet ready to live on their own. When one transitions with their family into RISE, they are taking a big step toward independence and self-sufficiency by working or attending regular classes or job training and enrolling their children in school or daycare.
