"I had the keys but nothing to put inside. Two weeks later I had a bed, a table, and dishes. It finally felt like home."

Move-In Support Program
A nonprofit for lasting independence
Every life can find its footing — and rise from there.
Rising Stars walks alongside individuals and families building toward stability: steady income, a place of their own, and the everyday confidence that comes with both. We don't define people by what they're leaving behind — only by where they're headed.

Our Mission
Building the foundation for a life that lasts.
We believe stability is built, not given — through skills, support, and the right help at the right moment. Our work centers on prevention and forward motion: helping people stay steady before things become a crisis, and helping them land solidly when they're starting over.
Prevention First
We work upstream — connecting people with planning, budgeting, and case management support before a setback turns into a crisis.
Real Independence
Every program is designed to build skills and resources that outlast our involvement — not dependency on ongoing support.
Person-Centered Care
No two paths look the same. We meet people where they are and build a plan around their specific goals, not a one-size template.
What We Offer
Four ways we help people find solid ground.
Each program can stand on its own, and many people move through more than one as their needs change. All are guided by a dedicated case manager from day one.
01
Stability Planning
One-on-one case management focused on building a sustainable path forward — before things become urgent.
- Personalized goals across housing, income, and health
- Budgeting and benefits navigation support
- Regular check-ins with a dedicated case manager
02
Tenancy Support
Ongoing support to help people stay successfully and confidently in their homes for the long term.
- Conflict resolution with landlords or roommates
- Connection to local resources and community services
- Early intervention if a setback puts housing at risk
03
Move-In Support
When someone secures a new apartment, the empty rooms can be the hardest part. We help furnish it — turning a lease into an actual home.
- Furniture, bedding, and basic household essentials
- Help with security deposit and utility set-up costs
- Coordinated delivery so move-in day actually feels like moving in
04
Home Accessibility
Modifications and repairs that make a home safer and more livable, especially for members with mobility needs.
- Ramps, grab bars, and accessibility upgrades
- Basic home safety remediation
- Coordination with trusted, credentialed contractors
Featured Program
The moment the key turns is just the start.
A lease is just paper until there's a bed to sleep in and a table to eat at. Move-In Support closes that gap — so the first night in a new home feels like a beginning, not another thing to figure out alone.
Coordinated, start to finish How It Works
A clear path, start to finish.
Getting support shouldn't feel complicated. Here's what working with Rising Stars looks like.
Reach Out
Contact us or get referred by a partner organization. No paperwork maze to start the conversation.
Get Matched
A case manager learns your situation and goals, then maps out which programs fit best.
Build Your Plan
Together, you set concrete goals across housing, income, and stability — and a timeline to reach them.
Move Forward
We stay with you through the transition — including helping furnish your new place if that's part of your path.
In Their Words
Stability looks different for everyone.
"My case manager helped me build an actual plan instead of just reacting to whatever came up. That changed everything."

Stability Planning Program
"They didn't just help me move in — they checked in for months after, until I didn't need the check-ins anymore."
