Brandy Robinson
Founder & CEO
The Rylyn Foundation Inc


As the founder of The Rylyn Foundation Inc., my journey into this work is deeply personal. As a young mother who experienced homelessness at the age of 17, I understand firsthand the fear, uncertainty, and challenges that come with not having stable housing or support. During some of the most difficult times in my life, caring individuals and community organizations helped me find hope and the resources needed to move forward.

Those experiences shaped my commitment to serving others.I created The Rylyn Foundation Inc., because I believe no individual or family should have to navigate hardship alone. Everyday, I see people facing barriers to housing , employment, healthcare, education, and basic necessities. Too often, individuals fall through the cracks of systems that were designed to help them. 

My vision is to create a place where people are treated with dignity, compassion, and respect while receiving the support they need to build stable and successful lives. Through housing support, reentry services, youth development programs, resource navigation and community partnerships, we strive to empower individuals and strengthen families throughout our community. 

The Rylyn Foundation is more than an organization - it is a promise to meet people where they are, restore hope, and help create pathways to lasting stability and opportunity.
