Imagine the transformation in a child’s life as they embark on a journey to summer camp – the thrill, the hope, the boundless opportunities. For many children in Houston, this experience is not just a memory, but a catalyst for new friendships and invaluable life lessons.But for children from families facing financial hardship, summer camp isn’t even a blip on their radar. In Houston alone, over 86,000 children are on the edge of homelessness annually, their dreams of attending camp fading away before they even have a chance to begin. Rather than enjoying nature and all its glory, they are stuck in dark apartments, spending too much time on their phones, isolated and unproductive.

In Support of RaiseUp Families
RaiseUp Families stabilizes parents from vulnerable communities who face unexpected financial crises so their children can focus on their education, giving them the opportunity for a better life. These families live paycheck to paycheck and have fallen behind in rent due to an unexpected financial crisis.
Our mission is to stabilize families in their homes before an eviction occurs, then provide them with skills and resources to become self-sufficient so their children can focus on their education, giving them the opportunity for a better life. Established in 1994 as Westside Homeless Prevention (and later known as Westside Homeless Partnership), RUF’s founders completed 2 years of research on how best to create life-long stability.
