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.

As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to a close, one thing remains clear:

Awareness is only the beginning. What truly changes lives is consistent, compassionate, and accessible care.

For 40 years, Rising Well has been part of that work here in our community—supporting individuals and families through mental health challenges, substance use, and the realities of housing instability.

We’ve learned that healing doesn’t happen all at once.
It happens through trust, time, and showing up—again and again.

🤝 building relationships that people can rely on
🏠 creating stability where there once was uncertainty
🧭 helping individuals navigate systems that can feel overwhelming
🔁 providing care that continues, even when things get difficult

Because real change doesn’t come from awareness alone—it comes from support that lasts.

And that work doesn’t end when the month does.

At Rising Well, we believe everyone has the opportunity to rise, to heal, and to live well.
