Aligned Work
Rooted & Rising’s supportive housing program provides stable, permanent housing options with wraparound services that ensure families will not experience unsheltered homelessness for an extended time. A housing team consistently monitors each household’s progress and well-being indicators, offering crisis mitigation and intervention to help solve any personal challenges that can lead to the loss of stable housing. This personalized, resident-centered approach helps families achieve stability faster, improve their quality of life, and build stronger connections. (Safe and Stable Homes)
