RISING TOGETHER
THE OPPORTUNITY
For ten years, Jesus on Colfax has walked alongside neighbors on East Colfax who are experiencing
homelessness, addiction, exploitation, and incarceration. Now, we’re permanently securing the
places where recovery, housing, workforce development, and community already happen.
RISE + JUBILEE
RISE is about creating a pathway toward stability, healing, community, and a different future. Jubilee Roasting Co. is one of the ways that future becomes tangible through meaningful work, relationships, and belonging.
Stories from RISE
For many of our RISE participants, life had become a cycle of addiction, instability, and trying to figure out how to start over. They wanted something different, but they didn’t know where to begin.
Then they found RISE.
