HomeRise is the leading nonprofit in San Francisco helping people experiencing homelessness rise up and transform their lives. Our mission is built on a simple-but-powerful idea: We combine housing with support services, like mental health services and job training, and empower our residents to advocate for local policies that create long-term change. We believe a home has the power to stabilize a person's life - helping people to improve their health, cook for their family, find a job, begin paying rent, feel a sense of dignity, and contribute to the community.
Together with our supporters, we are changing lives and rebuilding the neighborhoods and city that we love. Each year, HomeRise's supportive housing transforms the lives of more than 1,900 adults, children, seniors, and veterans who experienced homelessness. The impact is long-lasting: 98% of our past and present residents who experienced homelessness stay housed.
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., May 20, 2021 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Community Housing Partnership announced today that it has changed its name to HomeRise. More than 30 years ago, the norm for helping someone experiencing homelessness was to put them up in a small, furnished room and hope for the best. That changed when nonprofit housing developers and homelessness advocates came together and formed Community Housing Partnership.
