Welfare-to-Work / MFIP

Rise assists people who are unemployed or underemployed, receiving Minnesota Family Investment Program (MFIP), and have serious and multiple barriers to self-sufficiency enter or re-enter the workforce.

Because most of the people Rise serves in our welfare-to-work programs are refugees and immigrants, all of our placement staff are culturally sensitive, and many are bilingual.

We can also assist people with other employment-related issues, such as:

• Child care
• Transportation
• Language and cultural awareness
• Affordable housing
• Other individual concerns that directly affect job retention.
