What is the R.I.S.E. Program?
R.I.S.E. is Skyline Living’s tenant assistance program designed to provide support, access to community resources, and/or financial assistance when a valued tenant is struggling with hardship.
At Skyline Living, we understand that things don’t always go according to plan.
Sometimes, our tenants encounter life challenges that make it difficult to pay the bills or provide basic living needs, causing even more distress.
As a Skyline Living tenant, you’ve chosen to call one of our buildings home. To us, you are part of the Skyline Living family, and we want to provide support when you need it the most.
And now a word from our staff and participants
R.I.S.E. has been making a difference in the lives of our tenants and staff. Knowing that we have a program that works to support our tenants during difficult times means so much to everyone involved.
"Over time and often through no 'fault' of our own, life circumstances change for each of us – for example, illness, relationship shifts, or loss of work. With an eye toward keeping our tenants housed, our team pursues creative in-house mediation strategies to avoid court-based resolutions. We connect individuals with available community resources and consider their needs and level of support from our program..."
"I can’t put words together on how thankful I am to you and this program. I feel like I can finally breathe. My words of gratitude go beyond more than I can say."
"The response [to the R.I.S.E. Program] by the participants was uplifting! They repeatedly thanked me, stating that ‘Skyline Living are humans, not just a company!’"
