Equipping every individual to be an agent of change in their life and their community

Faced with a long-standing issue of homelessness and unemployment in the community, RiseBoro Empowerment was established in 2009 to provide community members with resources they need to thrive. Our programs today span from homeless prevention, re-housing from shelter, legal services, veteran's services, adult education and job training and placement. Once we secure housing for individuals and families, our innovative programs offer ongoing skills building, tenants' rights and financial literacy trainings for residents. Our dedicated staff and inclusive approach equips every individual to be an agent of change in their life and their community.
