Since 1994 RaiseUp Families has been providing financial assistance to parents of school-age children while helping them attain higher income jobs and teaching invaluable budgeting skills. This leads parents to become self-sufficient - prepared for future financial challenges where they will not have to utilize social services again. Our relational and individualized care gives parents the training and confidence to realize a better future for their children.
Our Mission
RaiseUp Families stabilizes parents from vulnerable communities who face unexpected financial crises so their children can focus on their education, giving them the opportunity for a better life.
Our Vision
Families across Greater Houston are stable and their children are excelling in school.
Our Values
Our F.I.E.R.C.E. values drive how we serve and honor each family we work with.
Family
Integrity
Empowerment
Respect

Who We Serve
We serve families with school-age children throughout the Greater Houston area.
Our model of strengthening families has the potential to benefit communities throughout Houston and Texas, where more than 86,000 youth are estimated to be facing homelessness.
Helping parents achieve self-sufficiency so they can lead their kids to a brighter future!
As the Christmas season approaches, we want to inform you that RaiseUp Families will be closed from December 21, 2024, through January 3, 2025. Our HandUp Program portal will open again in January and we will get back to you in the new year!
