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. We currently offer a holistic program focusing on five life domains: Financial Literacy, Housing Stability, Emotional Wellness, Academic Enrichment and Professional Development. We have a current 91% graduation rate and last year's graduates saw a 26% increase in their income.
