Our reentry housing programs give people coming home from prison a real chance at stability—with a full year of housing and support, no matter their conviction history. We believe everyone deserves a safe place to land and the chance to rebuild.
When someone completes the program, they can Transition In Place—staying in their home and becoming the leaseholder. It’s a big step toward lasting independence and owning their future.
Our Approach
Our housing programs focus on getting people into stable housing first, then we build from there with case management, counseling, and the support they need to thrive. It’s all about setting people up for success and helping them become active, contributing members of the community.
According to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, stable housing is a fundamental physiological necessity, forming the foundation for personal growth and success. Without the security and stability of a home, progress toward higher goals—such as employment, education, and self-sufficiency—is significantly hindered.
At CJM, clients have a safe, stable place to call home from the moment they reenter the community. This immediate access to housing provides the foundation they need to begin rebuilding their lives, developing essential skills, and working toward long-term success.
Human connection is essential to well-being, yet incarceration often brings profound loneliness and isolation, especially from positive support networks. Many individuals return home to strained relationships or overwhelming responsibilities, feeling pressure to make up for lost time.
At CJM, clients are paired with dedicated case managers who have lived experience and firsthand understanding of these challenges. Through group settings and structured opportunities for connection, clients build relationships with others who share similar goals and aspirations. This sense of community fosters belonging, support, and encouragement, ensuring that no one navigates reentry alone.
