Supportive Housing
Supportive, affordable, and safe housing is essential for helping formerly incarcerated individuals achieve long-term stability.
Housing access is the first step towards someone’s rehabilitation, but too often, those who need it most are left behind. Providing housing and community-based resources to systems-involved individuals is a critical investment and helps people, families, and communities thrive.
The Rise
Our permanent housing facility for formerly incarcerated people and their families in Brownsville, Brooklyn, takes a compassionate approach to reentry.
The Rise provides immediate stability after incarceration and access to on-site case management and re-entry support. Dedicated and compassionate staff encourage residents to set long-term goals and help them discover opportunities that foster growth, resilience, and independence.
