A non-profit organization dedicated to breaking barriers and providing a Second Chance for Re-Entering Citizens coming home.

What we do

We assist non-violent inmates that were incarcerated in the local prison system to break the cycle of recidivism in their life. We are here to offer housing, training, emotional support, mental help, and a few trades, for them to be able to be a functionable member of society.

Re-Entry

We take the time to work with the Department of Corrections to reduce recidivism through the collaborative partnership that will support the offender placement into evident-based interventions and continue all the way through to the transition (reentry) to their community.
