In custody · Step 1
Assess & enroll inside the facility
Our staff meet participants where they are — in the jail — to complete a needs assessment and build an individualized reentry plan long before release day.
How it works
Reentry doesn't start at the gate — and it can't end there.
We meet people inside, build the plan before release, and carry support across the handoff so momentum is not lost at the door.
Before release
Assess, enroll, and prepare while participants are still reachable inside the facility.
At release
A warm handoff, not a cliff — housing, transportation, and the next appointment connected.
After release
Continued mentoring, practical support, and reporting back to your facility.
The reentry model
In custody · Step 2
In-custody programming
Job-readiness and career-readiness training, life-skills education (anger management, communication, coping, parenting), and Living in Balance — an evidence-based, cognitive-behavioral substance-abuse curriculum focused on relapse prevention.
The pivot point
Release day — a warm handoff, not a cliff
The highest-risk moment is the first days out. We're there at release to bridge housing, transportation, and the next appointment — so the plan built inside doesn't collapse at the gate.
In community · Step 3
Transitional housing & mentoring
Through local housing and recovery partners, participants have a safe place to land — with the same mentors who met them inside continuing to walk alongside them.
In community · Step 4
Employment, education & family stability
Job placement support, online GED and HiSET classes with a live instructor, family reunification, and help enrolling in Medicaid and SNAP — the practical foundations that make staying out possible.
In community · Step 5
Ongoing support & reporting back to you
Continued check-ins keep participants on track — and we report attendance, milestones, and outcomes back to the facility so your investment is measurable.

Accountability
Your leadership sees the work — not just the paperwork
Every partnership includes practical reporting on participation, progress, handoffs, and outcomes your leadership can review.
Enrollment & attendance

Release-to-community rate
Successful handoffs and housing at release.
Recidivism tracking

What this solves
Each step protects against a common release failure point
The model keeps momentum because it is built around the places where people and systems usually lose track of each other.
Before release
People are enrolled, assessed, and prepared while they are still reachable, not after the pressure of release has already started.
At release
The handoff connects planning to action, so housing, appointments, documents, and mentoring do not become separate disconnected problems.
After release
Continued support and reporting help facilities see whether the program is turning participation into stability.
