DNA RISING

DNA RISING The mission of DNA RISING is to provide housing for, and thereby enhancing the lives of those community members who are striving to rise out of homelessness. We will accomplish this mission by acquiring donated properties from various sources such as the Cuyahoga County Land Bank, private owners looking to transfer an inherited or unwanted property, or owners needing assistance to alleviate tax liens. The properties will then be inspected and assessed by partner inspectors, appraisers and project managers in order to determine the renovation plan and budget. Local tradesmen will renovate the properties for the purpose of renting (up to 3 years) to formerly or currently homeless veterans or single mothers. The vision for DNA RISING is to actively contribute to the renovation, improvement and rebirth of Cleveland's inner city and first ring suburbs, while supporting the underserved populations of this magnificent city by providing affordable Bridge rental housing.
