About Rise and Shine Foundation, Inc.

Rise and Shine Foundation, Inc. is a sober living operator serving Kansas City, Missouri, running a transitional living program in Jackson County for people rebuilding their lives after treatment, incarceration or homelessness. The organization houses both men and women, each in their own residence.

A Transitional Living Program in Kansas City

Rise and Shine Foundation describes its work as creating stability and restoring purpose for people moving out of crisis and toward independence. Its transitional living program pairs housing with 24-hour on-site support, case management and life skills instruction, so residents do not manage the transition on their own.

Jessie's House and Freddie's House

The foundation runs two houses in Kansas City, Jessie's House for women and Freddie's House for men. Splitting the program by gender at the house level keeps daily structure, house meetings and shared space specific to one population at each address.

Life Skills and Case Management

Beyond housing, Rise and Shine Foundation provides personalized case management, life skills development covering budgeting, cooking and communication, and support connecting residents to employment and education. The 24-hour on-site presence is meant to hold residents accountable through the hours when the day's other structure falls away.

Serving Jackson County

Kansas City anchors Jackson County and gives residents of both houses access to the county's outpatient providers, courts and job market. A transitional program based in the city can draw referrals from a wide radius of the metro area, not serving a single neighborhood.

Applying to Jessie's House or Freddie's House

Both houses are reached through Rise and Shine Foundation, not a separate line for each address. A prospective resident should expect intake to cover current housing situation, work or education status, and readiness to engage with the case management and life skills components that anchor the program.
