The first demonstration grant was received in 1991 through the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act: Education for Homeless Children and Youth. Funding is coordinated through Ohio Department of Education. Project RISE served over 1800 students last school year. Project RISE is designed to empower students and their families by providing opportunities to improve the quality of their lives through educational, cultural, and community resources. Education is known to be the key in breaking the cycle of poverty and homelessness.
