The Challenge
Successful reentry requires more than release, it requires a clear path to economic stability and long-term mobility.
Economic stability begins with safe housing, reliable income, and access to essential support so individuals can meet daily needs without falling back into crisis. HOPE for Prisoners build this foundation through housing stabilization, employment readiness, workforce development, intensive case management and long-term, individualized mentorship.
Economic mobility makes lasting change possible. Through mentoring, vocational training, behavioral health support, and long-term reentry navigation, HOPE for Prisoners equips individuals not just to survive, but to move forward, restore their families, and build independent, purpose-filled lives. When stability and mobility meet we disrupt the vicious cycle of recidivism. This happens not by chance, but by opportunity.
How We Create Change
Our Proven Solution
HOPE for Prisoners is rooted in the belief that through Christ, lives can be restored and futures redeemed. With the creation of our Prison-to-Community Pipeline, the work begins before release, continuing long after individuals return home, we walk alongside men and women fighting for a Second Chance, offering a trauma-informed pathway from incarceration to wholeness. Through fully integrated, wraparound services offering housing stability, transportation, workforce development, recovery, mentoring, and family reunification, we do more than welcome people home, we help them step into lives renewed by faith, purpose, and HOPE.
Our Impact
With more than 6500 individuals supported and with a recidivism rate of less than 10% (compared to nearly 69% nationally) HOPE for Prisoners delivers real measurable results. Each successful reentry strengthens a family, improves public safety, and builds a more resilient community.
Why This Night Matters
This night fuels an entire year of second chances. The HOPE for Prisoners annual gala is more than an evening of gathering; it is a catalyst for transformation. Every dollar raised directly supports life-changing services, including workforce development, training and job placement, reentry navigation through intensive case management, trauma-informed behavioral health care, housing stability, and family reunification. This is not a symbolic moment. It is a decisive investment in real people, restored families, and safer, stronger communities. What happens tonight creates lasting change long after the evening ends.
