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.

🖤❤️💚 Honoring Freedom, Courage, and Hope

On Juneteenth, we commemorate the day when news of freedom finally reached the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.

Juneteenth is a reminder that progress often requires perseverance, courage, and a commitment to justice. It invites us to reflect on our shared history while looking forward with hope and purpose.

As we honor this important day, we encourage our community to learn more about the history of Juneteenth and the generations of individuals whose strength and determination helped shape a brighter future.

May we continue building communities where opportunity, dignity, and belonging are accessible to all.

Happy Juneteenth from all of us at Rising Well.

👨💙 June is Men's Mental Health Month 💙👨

Mental health affects everyone, yet many men struggle in silence due to stigma, fear, or the belief that they need to "handle it on their own."

This month, let's help change the conversation.

✅ It's okay to ask for help.
✅ It's okay to talk about your feelings.
✅ It's okay to prioritize your mental health.

Seeking support is not a sign of weakness—it's a sign of strength.

At Rising Well, we believe everyone deserves access to compassionate care, support, and resources to help them thrive. Whether you're facing stress, anxiety, depression, substance use challenges, or life's unexpected obstacles, you don't have to navigate it alone.

If you or someone you know needs support, we're here to help.

📞 Call us: 216-781-2250
🌐 Visit: www.risingwell.org

Together, we are Rising Well—where every person has the opportunity to rise, heal, and live well.
