RISE Permanent Supportive Housing |
|
Some families who face homelessness also face seemingly insurmountable boundaries. For familieswhose head of household is homeless, has multiple barriers, including disabling or chronic health conditions and may have had children in the foster care system, the RISE program can provide them a stable second chance.
The unit's operations are managed through an effective partnership between Fairfax County Department of Family Services, Shelter House, Reston Interfaith and New Hope Housing. The 20 units available provide household members with access to a flexible and comprehensive array of services.
Families are allowed to continue in the RISE program until their youngest child turns 18 years of age, giving them a continued, supportive environment. Case managers have more time to engage the families and break trust boundaries that can lead to a relapse of homelessness.
