Overview
Upside exists to solve one problem well: housing instability that disrupts health, care, and outcomes at scale. Upside began after our founder watched a family member's housing become unsafe -- not because of medical need, but because the environment no longer fit her life. The challenge wasn't clinical. It was practical, local, and hard to navigate.
