A
LIFESAVING RESOURCE
n The Rise is uniquely effective at working with homeless women who do not fit the requirements of other programs. For example, a woman might not have a specified period of sobriety, a firm commitment to leave an abusive partner, a treatment plan for her mental illness, or a clean criminal record. On The Rise meets women where they are. Our expectations of her, and her expectations of us, grow as our relationship grows.
Our Staff
Our dedicated team combines the insight that comes from personal experiences of homelessness, violence and addiction with the clinical training of licensed social workers.
Our House
Our beautiful, non-institutional home affirms our esteem for the individuals within it and offers them safety, essentials for daily survival, and a welcoming community.
Self-Determination
We pay attention to all matters in a woman’s life that she chooses to share with us, and have the flexibility to work with her on the issues that are important to her.
Off-Site Advocacy
We accompany women to hospitals, courtrooms, government offices, shelter/housing agencies, and many other service and neighborhood settings throughout Greater Boston, wherever she asks for our expert advocacy to remove barriers and address her challenges.  |
