In 2021, after 31 years as Community Housing Partnership, we changed our name to HomeRise. And while our name changed, our mission, values, methods, and ethos remained the same.
This change provided an opportunity for us to reintroduce ourselves to the community and remind people about the critical, transformative work we do. And so Re-Becoming was born.
Told through the voices of HomeRise residents and staff, Re-Becoming tells the story of HomeRise’s mission: to help people who have experienced homelessness secure housing and become self-sufficient. As is illustrated in the 26-minute film, fulfilling that mission looks different for each resident we serve and it takes a diverse team of staff, approaching the work from myriad angles, to make it happen.
Re-Becoming lays bare the profound impact that our work can have on both the residents who benefit from it and the staff who care so deeply about those residents. We are proud to present this documentary film as a way for you to get to know us (or be reintroduced to us!). We hope that it warms your heart and changes the way you interact with the world.
