To address the needs of the growing justice-impacted community, we use the RISEUP program as a steppingstone to meaningful employment. Throughout our cohorts, we have deeply connected with the social and cultural rejection of folks who are formerly incarcerated, former veterans, and experiencing chronic homelessness. In 2022, we began work on our newest projects, which recognize the disparity and inequities in access to mental health care, resources, housing, and the need for those who identify as women to have gender-responsive, trauma-informed reentry care. Our EMPOWER program is an integral piece of our wrap-around services, creating holistic care for those who are usually left behind.
