Company Profile
On The Rise, Inc
Company Overview
On The Rise, Inc. is a dynamic, Cambridge, MA-based non-profit founded in 1995 that serves women, transgender, and non-binary people currently/formerly experiencing homelessness throughout the region. Our Safe Haven and Keep The Keys Programs’ innovative approach has unprecedented success leveraging our participants’ initiative and core strengths to find safety and discover new possibilities. On The Rise is committed to social justice, dismantling oppression, and striving to be an anti-racist organization.
For those with the fewest options, we cultivate long-term relationships that foster safety and belonging. Guided by the strength and initiative of our program participants, we join their journey to wellbeing, as skilled partners and advocates. Throughout this journey, we engage with the people, programs and systems that most affect our participants, working to build a society that nourishes their wellbeing.
On The Rise’s work begins with individuals experiencing homelessness, and continues if and when they secure housing. From our origin as a women’s organization, our programs have evolved toward inclusion of those historically and structurally oppressed on the basis of gender.
