Rising Well Formerly known as Front Steps Housing & Services, our organization has served Cleveland’s most vulnerable neighbors for nearly 40 years.

Rising Well (formerly Front Steps Housing & Services) is a nonprofit dedicated to empowering individuals and families through integrated mental health, substance use, and supportive servicesβ€”helping people build stable, fulfilling lives. Rising Well is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to empowering individuals and families through integrated care that addresses mental health, substance use, and social challengesβ€”helping people build stable, fulfilling lives. We provide permanent supportive housing alongside comprehensive, person-centered services designed to promote stability, wellness, and long-term independence. Our work includes behavioral health services, case management, and supportive programs that address the root causes of housing instability and poverty. Our story began in 1986, when four Catholic sisters from the Congregation of St. Joseph opened the doors of what was then called Transitional Housing Incorporated (THI). Responding to a shortage of safe, affordable housing for low-income women, they transformed a former motel on Cleveland’s near West Side into a place of dignity, care, and hope. As community needs evolved, so did we. In 2013, the organization shifted from temporary housing to permanent supportive housing, and in 2014 became Front Steps Housing & Services. Today, as Rising Well, we are expanding our focus on behavioral and mental health servicesβ€”working to prevent crisis, strengthen stability, and meet people where they are. Rising Well continues to reduce reliance on emergency systems, support recovery and wellness, and create lasting pathways toward independence for individuals and families across Cuyahoga County.

🌿 WELLNESS WEDNESDAY: What Does a Case Manager Actually Do?

When life feels complicated, figuring out where to start can sometimes be one of the hardest parts.

That’s where case management can help.

At Rising Well, case managers work alongside individuals to understand their needs, identify challenges, connect them with resources, and coordinate services that can support their behavioral health, recovery, wellness and stability. Rising Well’s supportive services include case management and care coordination, community resource referrals, preventive wellness education and support for long-term stability.

So, what can case management look like in everyday life?

🧭 Figure out where to start β€” Talk through needs, challenges and goals and help identify appropriate next steps.

🀝 Connect with services & resources β€” Help identify behavioral health, healthcare and community resources that may meet an individual’s needs.

πŸ”— Coordinate care β€” Help individuals navigate different providers, services and supports so care feels more connected.

🏑 Address barriers to stability β€” Identify challenges affecting everyday life and connect individuals with available community resources and supportive services.

πŸ“‹ Navigate complicated systems β€” Help make services, referrals and next steps easier to understand and manage.

πŸ’œ Work toward greater stability & wellness β€” Provide ongoing support and care coordination as an individual’s needs and goals evolve.

Think of a case manager as someone who helps connect the pieces of careβ€”working alongside you to identify what you need, understand your options and navigate the resources and services that can help.

Case management isn’t about making decisions for someone. It’s about helping people feel supported, informed and connected as they work toward their goals.

πŸ’œ Sometimes the next step is simply having someone help you figure out what comes next.

Are you or someone you know looking for behavioral health, case management or supportive services? Rising Well is here to help.

πŸ’œ MENTAL HEALTH MONDAY: Behavioral Health Doesn't Fit Into One Box.

Mental health and substance use are often discussed separately.

For millions of people, they aren't separate experiences.

The newly released 2025 National Survey on Drug Use and Health examines mental illness, substance use disordersβ€”and importantly, where the two overlap.

The same national data show the scale of both needs: 54.6 million adults experienced a mental illness in the past year, while 44.6 million Americans age 12 or older experienced a substance use disorder.

Behind those numbers are people whose needs may involve much more than a single diagnosis.

Mental health. Substance use. Housing. Physical health. Relationships. Transportation. Financial stability. Recovery.

They can all intersect.

πŸ’š That's why Rising Well approaches behavioral health through a whole-person lens, bringing together mental health and substance use treatment, case management, recovery support, supportive housing and connections to resources.

People don't experience life's challenges in separate boxes.

Care shouldn't treat them that way either.
