What You Get
Everything Included
Every man in the program receives the same full support - not just a bed, but a real path forward.
Structure & Accountability
Daily check-ins, curfews, and house expectations that create the kind of discipline that leads to real change. Accountability isn't punishment - it's what makes recovery stick.
Spiritual Development
Bible study, prayer, and faith-based mentorship woven into everyday life. This is the heart of the program - and for most men, it's the part that changes everything.
Employment Support
Guidance on job search, navigating background checks, resume help, and connecting with employers who are open to hiring returning citizens.
Life Skills Development
Financial literacy, communication, conflict resolution, and practical skills many men never had the chance to develop. The tools to actually keep the life they're rebuilding.
Community & Brotherhood
A house full of men who understand each other, support each other, and hold each other accountable. The kind of community that doesn't let you fail quietly.
The Process
How It Works
Getting into the program is straightforward. Here's what to expect.
Initial Contact
Call us at 804-928-4300, have a referral partner reach out on your behalf, or fill out the intake form on our Contact page. We'll have a conversation to see if the program is a good fit.
Intake Assessment
We talk with the man (and often his referral source) to understand his situation, his goals, and whether our program and timeline align. We're straightforward about who we can serve and who might be better suited elsewhere.
Move In
If it's a mutual fit, the man moves into the house. He'll get oriented on expectations, house rules, and the daily schedule. The structure starts on day one - in a supportive way.
Active Program Participation
Each day has structure: work or job search, Bible study, community meals, accountability check-ins, and time for personal development. Men are expected to participate actively - this is a program, not a waiting room.
Graduation & Next Steps
After successfully completing the program (approximately 6 months), men graduate with a plan - employment, housing, support network, and the confidence that comes from having done the hard work. We stay connected as alumni.
