An innovative transitional-to-permanent housing program that builds survivors skills and self-dependency
MSP’s transitional-to-permanent housing program, RISE (Reaching Independence through Survivor Empowerment) helps families fleeing from domestic violence move from crisis and homelessness to safety and stability. In this one year program, MSP staff provide case management and education on financial responsibility and life planning. During the year of participation, rental payments are subsidized by MSP and MSP staff provide ongoing support and referrals to clients as they pursue goals in an autonomous environment. Families have the option to remain in the homes they have built for themselves after exiting the program, promoting long-term self-sufficiency and freedom from abuse.
RISE launched in 2012, and in its first year, RISE served 5 families. Today RISE serves almost 30 families and continues to grow.
Application: If you are a victim of domestic violence, you may be a candidate for Sanctuary Plus. Call us at 202-540-1064 to learn more about our services.
