SUPPORT RISE

Everything we do is only possible with financial support from our community partners and individual donors. The money goes directly to our operating costs so we can continue to provide assistance to other community development organizations, build homes for those who need affordable housing, and be a strong partner for data sharing in the region.

Quality housing for everyone

Rise provides affordable housing for the hard-working residents of the St. Louis region who make 60% or less of the Area Median Income. 

We firmly believe that everyone deserves clean, safe affordable housing. People work hard to provide for a better life for themselves and their families, which is why Rise has provided over 5,000 homes for area residents.

These residents are people from all walks of life: teachers, police officers, EMTs, bank tellers, healthcare workers, and everyone who we see as the backbone of our community. They are our friends and neighbors. They should not have to sacrifice when it comes to providing safe homes for their families.
