Rising Well

Rising Well Formerly known as Front Steps Housing & Services, our organization has served Cleveland’s most vulnerable neighbors for nearly 40 years.

Rising Well (formerly Front Steps Housing & Services) is a nonprofit dedicated to empowering individuals and families through integrated mental health, substance use, and supportive services—helping people build stable, fulfilling lives. Rising Well is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to empowering individuals and families through integrated care that addresses mental health, substanc

e use, and social challenges—helping people build stable, fulfilling lives. We provide permanent supportive housing alongside comprehensive, person-centered services designed to promote stability, wellness, and long-term independence. Our work includes behavioral health services, case management, and supportive programs that address the root causes of housing instability and poverty. Our story began in 1986, when four Catholic sisters from the Congregation of St. Joseph opened the doors of what was then called Transitional Housing Incorporated (THI). Responding to a shortage of safe, affordable housing for low-income women, they transformed a former motel on Cleveland’s near West Side into a place of dignity, care, and hope. As community needs evolved, so did we. In 2013, the organization shifted from temporary housing to permanent supportive housing, and in 2014 became Front Steps Housing & Services. Today, as Rising Well, we are expanding our focus on behavioral and mental health services—working to prevent crisis, strengthen stability, and meet people where they are. Rising Well continues to reduce reliance on emergency systems, support recovery and wellness, and create lasting pathways toward independence for individuals and families across Cuyahoga County.

🌟 June 8 — National Best Friends Day 💙

Best friends are basically everyday superheroes 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

The ones who text you back📲, show up when it counts, and make even hard days feel a little lighter☁️.

At Rising Well, we see the power of connection every day, especially for individuals building recovery, stability, and wellness through life’s transitions. Whether it’s a trusted friend, a case manager, or a support group, strong relationships help people stay grounded and keep moving forward.

Because no one heals alone 💫

🌟 June 5 — National Gun Violence Awareness Day (Wear Orange Day)

At Rising Well, we recognize Wear Orange Day as a time to honor lives lost, uplift survivors, and stand together in the movement to end gun violence in our communities.

This day was inspired by Chicago teens who refused to be silent after the 2013 killing of Hadiya Pendleton, a 15-year-old honors student and drum majorette who was tragically shot in a playground just days after performing in President Obama’s second inaugural parade. In her memory, her friends began wearing orange — the color hunters use to signal “don’t shoot” — to honor Hadiya and all those affected by gun violence.

The first national Wear Orange Day was held on June 2, 2015, on what would have been Hadiya’s 18th birthday. Today, Wear Orange is observed annually on the first Friday in June as a national call to action for peace, prevention, and healing.

At Rising Well, we understand that violence and trauma are deeply connected to the behavioral health and social challenges faced in our communities. Healing begins when we come together with compassion, awareness, and a commitment to prevention and support.

We believe in building communities where safety, dignity, and healing are possible for everyone — especially those most impacted by trauma, homelessness, and systemic barriers.

Today we wear orange in solidarity. Tomorrow, we continue the work of healing through care, connection, and community support.
