Our Mission

Home for Good provides safe housing, supportive community, and reentry services for people returning from incarceration in New Jersey and beyond. We walk alongside returning citizens as they rebuild their lives, strengthen their relationships, and reconnect with community. Through stable housing, peer support, wraparound resources, and digital literacy, we create the conditions for long-term stability and meaningful reintegration.

Our Vision

Every person returning home from prison has the stability, opportunity, and community needed to thrive.

Why Our Work Matters

Returning home from incarceration can be one of the most difficult transitions a person experiences. In New Jersey, formerly incarcerated individuals are nearly ten times more likely to experience homelessness than the general public. Without stable housing, employment opportunities, digital skills, or supportive relationships, too many people face overwhelming barriers that lead to cycles of instability and rearrest.

No one should come home to homelessness.

Housing, community, and practical support are the foundation for rebuilding a life — and we are committed to making that foundation strong.

“When you invest in the guys coming home from incarceration, you are giving them a voice. You are giving them a leg to stand on. You are allowing them to be productive and to be able to help and be in the community.”
