Wise-Up Inc.
Empowering veterans.
Educating future leaders.
Strengthening Texas communities.
Wise-Up is a nonprofit organization based in Houston, Texas. We furnish homes for the men and women who served our country, and we are building a K–12 leadership academy for Texas students.
About Wise-Up
One organization, two ways to serve
Wise-Up Inc. exists to empower people, strengthen families, and transform communities. We do that through programs that meet real needs, from the day a veteran gets the keys to a furnished home to the day a student walks into class ready to lead.
Express Living for Veterans provides safe, fully furnished, affordable housing for U.S. military veterans in Houston, along with a job board of employers who value military experience. Wise-Up Leadership Academy is our new educational division: a K–12 program for Texas students, preparing to take part in the Texas Education Freedom Account (TEFA) Program.
