Mission

Renascence assists men recently released on probation or parole for non-violent offenses to successfully reintegrate into the community.

How We Do It

Renascence is more than a halfway house—it's a fresh start, a new life.

The lack of a willing support network is the main obstacle to beginning a successful, productive transition back into society. Renascence exists to help provide a structure to meet that need by having Resident Members:

• RECLAIM their lives by developing a strategy for their own success
• REBUILD their lives with guidance and assistance from the staff
• REINTEGRATE successfully into society as productive and responsible individuals

Renascence can accommodate up to fourteen men at a time, each staying for a period of 6 months to a year. While they are there, Resident Members are required to:

• work or attend school
• pay rent
• attend scheduled classes and meetings
• abide by all house rules

This helps them to learn to be accountable and teaches Resident Members that they have choices and their choices make all the difference.

To our Giving Tuesday donors:

Thank you for your generosity in supporting Renascence Re-entry Program.
Your gifts will contribute to sustaining this important effort and give our residents a positive, structured environment from which to transition successfully back into society.
Thank you for making a difference in these men’s lives.

Sincerely,
Nelson Smith
President, Board of Directors
