Victoria Perreault's Company Details
On The Rise, Inc. (OTR) is a dynamic, Cambridge, MA-based non-profit founded in 1995 that serves women in crisis and homelessness throughout the region. Our Outreach/Safe Haven Program's innovative approach has unprecedented success with women who are unable to make full use of other community programs for reasons that may include their histories (trauma, violence and abuse are ubiquitous) and present conditions (many women are coping with multiple issues, from medical concerns and mental illness, to addiction, criminal histories, and more). In the face of these obstacles, women who participate in OTR's programs leverage their initiative and core strengths to find safety and discover new possibilities. Positive results include a housing retention rate of 85% (compared to 47% for dually-diagnosed individuals in traditional programs) and many other gains in safety and quality of life that range from subtle to astounding.
