Arise collective is a 501C(3) nonprofit providing gender-sensitive, trauma-informed, and evidence-based programs and services to women during and after incarceration

Arise collective launched the womens reentry project in july 2020, providing safe housing and wraparound services and support to women who would have been homeless or forced to return to unsafe environments upon release. Through seven reentry homes that can house up to 23 residents at a time, the program can accommodate women with serious mental illness, those on the SEX offender registry, and those who struggle with CO-occurring disorders. Program funding will allow for the work of reentry to begin prerelease through partnerships with mothers and their children at the north carolina correctional institution for women, campbell university at anson correctional center for women, and the social work department at western correctional center for women. For the proposed project, the organization will accept women with a broad set of needs typically not addressed by other programs in the area, such as those who are enrolled in medically assisted treatment programs, women on the SEX offender registry, those who need to be housed with their minor children upon release from prison, and those pursuing higher education and vocational certifications immediately or soon after their release from prison.
