FRT is a provider of Housing Stabilization Services, a Minnesota Medical Assistance benefit to help seniors and people with disabilities, including mental illness and substance use disorder, find and keep housing. We leverage Family Homeless Prevention & Assistance Program (FHPAP) funding and the Housing Trust Fund Rental Assistance Program (HTF) to help achieve housing stability and transition to permanent sustainable housing opportunities. We also provide safe, person-centered living arrangements and supplemental services to eligible individuals experiencing housing instability and/or long-term homelessness (LTH) in communities of their choice using Housing Support dollars.
Adult Rehabilitative Mental Health Services (ARMHS) is a high-impact program that addresses the wellbeing of individuals with mental illness by providing culturally specific mental health services that emphasizes trust, respect, dignity, and compassion. We support people in areas such as medication education and monitoring, basic social and living skills, symptom management, household management, and employment-related or community living transitions. Our ARMHS services are rehabilitative and can help you to develop and enhance psychiatric stability, social competencies, personal and emotional adjustment, and independent living and community skills when these abilities are impaired by the symptoms of mental illness.
Growing Kinship Connection (GKC) increases the well-being of children and families by reducing risk factors and increasing protective factors for children and youth. Our Growing Kinship Connection program aims to reduce out-of-home placement, increase kinship placement, and support the engagement of fathers and father-figures. Our program places a unique focus on engaging BIPOC fathers/father figures to be active in their children’s lives while understanding the historical trauma of slavery and the impact of prison pipeline.
In partnership with CM Solutions, our Micro-Enterprise program provides entrepreneurial technical assistance, access to capital, a peer network support system, referrals, advocacy, and business coaching services. We grow economic stability, a vibrant community, and financial independence for under-served BIPOC individuals and families in our region. The entrepreneurs we serve are primarily BIPOC and Communities of Poverty members. Coming soon: BIPOC Small Business/Entrepreneurial Center located in the heart of the Lincoln Park Craft District with retail and production space, programs, and a commercial kitchen.
At Family Rise Together, we are committed to enhancing the quality of our services by adhering to Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services (CLAS) standards. This dedication ensures that we provide inclusive and equitable care, reducing health disparities and fostering health equity for all individuals we serve.
