HomeRise (formerly Community Housing Partnership)
Community Housing Partnership is now HomeRise. While the name is new, the work we do remains the same: we help people experiencing homelessness rise up and transform their lives by providing a home combined with support services, like mental health services and job training, and advocating for policies that alleviate and prevent homelessness. Together with our supporters, we are changing lives and rebuilding the neighborhoods and city that we love. Each year, HomeRise’s supportive housing transforms the lives of more than 1,900 adults, children, seniors, and veterans who experienced homelessness. The impact is long-lasting: 98% of our past and present residents who experienced homelessness stay housed.
