Rising Foundations

United States of America

Over half of the people released from prison in Louisiana go back. RisingFoundations stops this cycle of incarceration by leveraging the education accreditation and work experience people can gain in the construction sector while in prison to create access to homeownership gainful and stable self employment and financial services. We accomplish these goals through our transitional work program our homeownership program and our worker owned cooperative incubator. By fostering independence and self sustainability RisingFoundations transforms the reentry experience into one that builds on the strengths and abilities of people coming home from prison to further community economic development in New Orleans and reduce mass incarceration.
