Housing is often the primary concern for ex-offenders re-entering communities. With limited resources, many resort to transitional accommodation to eventually secure permanent housing. Regrettably, many end up homeless, which further complicates their re-entry into society. Without shelter and a permanent mailing address, finding employment, establishing credit, and managing daily routines become challenging. If family or friends are unavailable to provide temporary shelter, seeking transitional housing becomes necessary. Most transitional housing options come with eligibility criteria and time restrictions, along with comprehensive support services such as employment assistance, substance abuse treatment, and mental health counseling.

Transitioning back into family and society is crucial for inmates who leave children behind. These children often find themselves without a parent to care for them, leading to the involvement of grandparents, aunts, or even siblings. Upon release, inmates typically reside in transitional or “halfway” houses. Parental inmates face a decision: assimilate into the new family dynamic, resume their parental role, or maintain a separate relationship with their children. Regardless of the chosen path, returning inmate parents may require professional assistance or support during this transition. Inmates have lost or missed out on various aspects of life while incarcerated, including skills, knowledge, and education. To regain these lost opportunities, inmates must actively participate in focused programs and attend specialized workshops.

Residents contribute a monthly Program Fee that helps cover a portion of their program.
