RISE Housing & Support Services Launches Capital Campaign for Therapeutic Community Space

SARATOGA SPRINGS — RISE Housing and Support Services launched a $550,000 Capital Campaign to complete its $3.5 million new HOMEBASE project. 

The project will provide peer support and opportunities to combat isolation and provide semi-structured therapeutic activities to develop daily living skills and a natural support system. 

The project is budgeted at $3.5 million, with much of the funding coming from a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Project grant, secured by Congressman Paul Tonko, the Sarah B. Foulke Charitable Fund, and Adirondack Trust, among others. Construction is expected to be completed by summer of 2025. 

This therapeutic community space will be located at the RISE headquarters on Union Street in Saratoga Springs, and will provide a range of services and facilities designed to foster community engagement, life skills, and personal growth. The new space will feature: Telehealth Conference Rooms, Café/Kitchen, Computer Room, Workshops, Living Room, and Art Studio.

Construction is being managed by the Bonacio Group. Sonny and Julie Bonacio are large supporters of RISE and their mission.
