What We Do

Our work is organized around four service pillars that address immediate needs while helping people move toward longer-term stability.

Mentorship & Re-Entry

Mentoring incarcerated individuals, offering guidance, helping people think through re-entry needs and connecting them to supportive resources.

E

Essential Support

Assistance and referrals related to food, clothing, transportation, housing resources and other basic needs, depending on availability and relationships.

F

Family & Community Support

Resource navigation and support for families dealing with the challenges surrounding incarceration and a loved one's return to the community.

P

Pathways Forward

Employment referrals, advocacy, resource navigation and community connections designed to support independence and long-term stability.

Building a Path Home

Stable housing can be one of the greatest challenges facing someone returning to the community after incarceration. Today, Rising to Freedom works to connect individuals with available housing resources and community relationships whenever possible.

Our long-term vision is to establish transitional housing that can provide qualified individuals with a stable environment while they work toward employment, independence and permanent housing.

This is a planned future initiative. Rising to Freedom does not currently operate an in-house transitional housing residence.
