Upward Transitions has reached its funding capacity for this week and can no longer receive requests for assistance. Please call 2-1-1 to be connected to other resources that may be able to assist you.
ATTENTION PLEASE: Upward Transitions will be closed in observance of MLK Day Monday, January 19, 2026. We will not be taking requests for rent and utility assistance that day.
We will resume taking rent and utility applications on Monday, January 26, 2026, at 7:00 am.
We set an ambitious goal to raise $500,000 for our Endowment Fund in celebration of our Centennial. Thanks to our supporters, we are nearly there!
During this initial offering, the Kirkpatrick Family Fund (www.kirkpatrickfamilyfund.org) is matching a percentage of the funds received. This increases the value of all donations made before February 25, 2026.
Our mission is to prevent generational poverty through community collaboration, emergency relief and empowerment, therefore inspiring hope with our neighbors experiencing housing instability.
