The Rising
Together Village.
A 5-acre transitional housing community designed from the ground up to keep families together and guide them all the way to independence.
The Why
This isn't a shelter. It's a launchpad.
When families enter housing assistance systems, they are too often split up or placed in environments that offer no path forward. The Village eliminates that by putting everything a family needs — support, childcare, food, education — on a single, safe campus.
Core Objective
Eliminate family fragmentation by providing units and infrastructure large enough to accommodate complete households during transition.
Campus Size
5 Acres
What's Inside
Residential Units
1BR–4BR layouts to keep large, multi-generational families intact during transition.
On-Site Daycare
Removing the single largest barrier to parental employment — childcare, steps from their front door.
Community Pantry
A dignified, fully stocked pantry ensuring food security for every resident, every day.
Support Circles
Dedicated spaces for mental health, financial literacy, and men's empowerment meetings.
The Clubhouse
The heart of the Village — a multi-purpose administrative and community gathering facility.

On-campus services connecting residents to employment, legal aid, and educational programs.
