Supportive Housing Programs

Safe Shelter. Ongoing Support. A Path to Stability.

At Rise with Living Hope, we believe that housing is a human right and the first step to long-term self-sufficiency. Our Supportive Housing Programs provide safe, affordable, and stable housing solutions for individuals and families facing housing insecurity, homelessness, or crisis situations.

From emergency shelter to permanent supportive housing, our goal is to walk alongside participants as they rebuild their lives with dignity, hope, and stability.

Who We Serve

Our housing programs are designed to support:

  • Homeless families and individuals

  • Pregnant women and new mothers in crisis

  • Survivors of domestic violence or abuse

  • Individuals experiencing chronic homelessness

  • Youth aging out of foster care

  • Veterans and vulnerable populations facing housing instability

Participants are connected to both immediate shelter and long-term support services, creating a foundation for lasting change.

Our Supportive Housing Programs

1. Emergency Shelter Services

Our Emergency Shelter Services provide temporary, short-term housing for individuals and families in urgent crisis—offering a safe place to stay while case managers assess needs and help identify next steps.

Services include:

  • Safe and confidential shelter

  • Meals and hygiene essentials

  • Crisis case management

  • Connections to mental health and medical services

  • Intake for housing pathways

This program focuses on immediate safety and stabilization for those fleeing unsafe conditions or experiencing sudden homelessness.

 2. Transitional Housing

Our Transitional Housing Program offers temporary housing (up to 24 months) for individuals and families who are working toward self-sufficiency but need time to rebuild their lives.

Participants live in secure, furnished housing while receiving support in:

  • Financial literacy and budgeting

  • Job readiness and employment support

  • Life skills development

  • Mental health and trauma-informed care

  • Navigation to permanent housing options

This program bridges the gap between homelessness and permanent housing, empowering residents to move forward with confidence.

 3. Permanent Supportive Housing

For individuals and families with long-term or complex needs, our Permanent Supportive Housing Program offers stable, affordable housing combined with wraparound support services.

This program is ideal for those facing:

  • Chronic homelessness

  • Disability or mental health challenges

  • Substance use recovery

  • Reentry from incarceration

Services include:

  • Long-term housing placement

  • On-site or mobile case management

  • Individualized support plans

  • Coordination with healthcare, therapy, and benefit programs

We focus on helping residents maintain housing, manage health, and reintegrate into the community with support and stability.

 4. Housing Assistance for the Homeless

This program offers rental assistance, housing placement, and rapid rehousing services for individuals and families who are currently homeless or at risk of homelessness.

Services may include:

  • Security deposit or rental assistance

  • Help locating safe and affordable housing

  • Advocacy with landlords

  • Utility assistance (when available)

  • Ongoing follow-up and case management

Our housing advocates work to quickly connect families and individuals to housing solutions that meet their needs and income.

Support Beyond Shelter

Housing is just the beginning. Through our supportive housing model, we provide wraparound services that include:

  • Financial literacy education

  • Employment and workforce development

  • Counseling and trauma-informed care
