About this organization
Mission
Stopping the cycle of incarceration through community economic development.
About
During 2017, RisingFoundations had the following major accomplishments: Access to affordable housing - in partnership with Next Generation International/The First 72+ we provided free transitional housing to 24 people. We are also in the process of renovating a 6500 sq ft property to provide free transitional housing to 8 additional people bringing our capacity to 15 beds. Small business development - a unique workforce development program we foster self-sufficiency through self-employment and small business development enabling our clients to bypass discrimination by employers. Our small business incubator empowers formerly incarcerated people to develop small businesses to (at first) supplement their income while they continue working low-wage jobs, with an overall goal for these businesses to grow to provide full time employment for themselves, and eventually other formerly incarcerated people.
