Mission
RISING HOPE IS BUILT ON THE BELIEF THAT EVERYONE DESERVES ACCESS TO A COMMUNITY OF SUPPORT, AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO GROW BEYOND THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES TO ACHIEVE THEIR SELF-EXPRESSED OUTCOMES IN LIFE. AS PART OF THIS BELIEF, ONE OF RISING HOPE'S KEY MISSIONS IS WORKING ALONGSIDE INDIVIDUALS EXPERIENCING THE CRISIS OF HOMELESSNESS AND POVERTY IN FAIRFAX COUNTY. RISING HOPE'S PROGRAM IS FAR REACHING AND ADDRESSES MULTIPLE EXPRESSED NEEDS COMMUNICATED TO US BY THOSE WITH LIVED EXPERIENCE. AT RISING HOPE, INDIVIDUALS ARE ADDRESSED THROUGH A HOLISTIC APPROACH WHERE THEY FIND A SPIRITUAL HOME, EMOTIONAL SUPPORT, PHYSICAL SUSTENANCE, AND SERVICES TAILORED TO HELP THEM MOVE TO THE NEXT PHASE OF THEIR LIFE. WE SUPPORT INDIVIDUALS IN A VARIETY OF THE GRANT'S FOCUS AREAS INCLUDING FOOD INSECURITY, HOMELESS SUPPORT, AND TRANSPORTATION.
