Invest in a St. Louis where no one returns home from prison to homelessness.
Join the Welcome Home Circle this November and receive an exclusive CJM investor gift — a small token for the big impact your monthly investment will make in ending reentry homelessness.
Becoming part of CJM’s Welcome Home Circle isn’t just charitable giving — it’s a strategic investment in ending reentry homelessness, reducing crime, and building a stronger, safer St. Louis. Monthly partners fuel the housing and wraparound support that help individuals rebuild stability after incarceration.
Your recurring gift gives CJM the predictable capital needed to expand housing units, strengthen reentry services, and create long-term solutions that benefit the entire region.
Why Your Investment Matters:
Reentry homelessness is one of the strongest predictors of reoffending. Stable housing combined with tailored support changes everything:
- People returning home from prison are 10 times more likely to experience homelessness than the general population.
- Homelessness increased the likelihood of recidivism by over 50%, and each additional residential change (move) increases recidivism by ~12%.
- Because of the stability that comes from long-term housing and wraparound support, CJM clients have a recidivism rate of less than 5%.
- Every CJM housing unit reduces public costs associated with homelessness, emergency care, and incarceration.
Your investment directly fuels the approach that is proven to work: housing first, support always.
What Your Monthly Investment Makes Possible:
Welcome Home Circle investors provide the foundation for:
- Safe, Stable Housing: Fully furnished apartments available on day one after release — no waiting lists, no shelters, no instability.
- Wraparound Reentry Support: In-home case management, life skills coaching, employment navigation, healthcare support, and community connections.
- Community Safety & Cost Savings: Every successful reentry reduces the likelihood of future crime and decreases the public cost of incarceration.
- Scalable Growth: Predictable monthly support allows CJM to acquire more units, serve more people, and move St. Louis closer to ending reentry homelessness entirely.
