Welcome
Justice Reentry Houses
Re-Entry Housing Program
A Second Chance… A Brighter Future
The first 24 hours
The first 24 hours after your release, we are there to help you.
Those first hours are the hardest ones to get through alone. That is why this part of the program comes first — a ride, a place to be, and somebody who answers.
Temporary Housing Today… A Brighter Tomorrow.
Our purpose
To provide a safe, supportive and structured independent or shared living environment for individuals transitioning back into the community.
The program
Day Program
A temporary place to stay until you get permanent living within 120 days.

Individuals returning from incarceration
Federal and state populations
Those with no stable housing
Adults ready to be independent and work toward a positive future

Success Stories
Everyone needs a second chance.
The program is 30 to 120 days. What happens after those days is the part that tells you whether it worked — so when somebody comes back to say it did, it goes up here.
One of the young men in our program finished it, and we housed him when he came home from prison.
Today he has his own place, a job, and a brand new car he just got approved for.
He came to my house on Martin Luther King Drive in Greensboro, North Carolina — where one of the re-entry houses is — to give me the update and let me see the car in person, to let him show me that I truly helped him get where he needed to be.
Because everyone needs a second chance.
A story from the program
Somebody is getting out this week. Call before they do.
The first week after release decides a great deal — where a person sleeps, who they are around, whether anybody picks up the phone. Getting the address settled before release day is the whole point of this program.
Not sure whether the program is the right fit? Ask. That costs nothing.
