ABOUT RIS FOUNDATION
RIS Foundation is committed to creating a safe place for people in our community who are in transition due to life-altering events. Through support and resources, we will guarantee that the people in our community will RIS.
WHAT WE DO
We offer recuperative care, transitional housing, job workshops, counseling services, relapse prevention, and life skills/reentry services.
RECUPERATIVE CARE
Our holistic, short-term residential program offers comprehensive support, empowering women to break the cycle of homelessness.
TRANSITIONAL HOUSING
The shelter is the number one priority for anyone trying to create a sustainable future. RIS Foundations offer a clean and safe environment for people to get on their feet and start the process for sustainability.
JOB WORKSHOP/LIFE SKILLS/REENTRY
In order for people to maintain housing, they must be able to maintain a job. At RIS Foundation we teach resume writing, job skills, mock interviews, interview suit assistance, uniform assistance, and more so that they may be able to get and keep employment. Life skills and reentry services are taught regularly so that people in our community do not return to homelessness or jail.
COUNSELING SERVICES
Counseling services are provided by outside services and they include drug and alcohol counseling, therapy, and psychiatric assistance so as to prevent relapses and maintain a healthy mental state.
