Over 98% of the families we serve remain permanently housed.

How we got Started Formally known as Senior Living Options, Inc., Step Up For Better Living was founded as a 501c3 non-profit corporation in 1998.

The organization was established based on the mission of promoting the health, well-being and happiness of senior citizens. ThemePunch Peter Jackson - Web Designer Our Expansion In 2015, Senior Living Options, Inc. began doing business as Step Up for Better Living based on a plan to expand services to low-income families, special needs populations, and youth.

Program activities originally focused on transitioning families into permanent housing. Jackie Doe - Agile Manager ThemePunch Why we Expanded Step Up wanted to ease this transition into permanent housing by ensuring families had access to community resources, including but not limited to childcare, healthcare, food pantries, addiction prevention, and mental health services. Staff conducted home visits, office visits, and telephone follow-ups to ensure clients remained connected to community resources. Bill Jones - Marketing Expert ThemePunch

Gradually new services were added, including case management, counseling, eviction prevention, information and referrals.
