Franklinton Rising breaks cycles of poverty by building people, building homes, and building pathways to lasting opportunity.

We believe poverty is not a lack of worth, talent, or potential. Poverty is often a lack of access – access to opportunity, training, relationships, stable housing, and meaningful work. That is why Franklinton Rising equips young adults through hands-on construction training, mentorship, faith-based support, job placement, and affordable housing development.

Every home we build becomes both a classroom for trainees and a future quality, affordable home for a family. Through this model, we help young adults gain real-world skills, connect to employers, and step into sustainable careers in the building trades – while also helping restore neighborhoods and expand access to affordable housing.

We do not see people as problems to be solved. We see people as potential to be developed.
