Stephen’s House is a faith-friendly non-profit organization that combines mentoring and programming to address the challenges men face as they transition from treatment and the criminal justice system. Stephen’s House is designed to teach men to be accountable and responsible for their personal life choices.
Through a network of welcoming churches, felon-friendly landlords and employers, volunteers and civic agencies, Stephen’s House serves as a conduit to assist men who are re-entering society. Together, the network supports the individual in creating new boundaries outside the judicial system, overcoming addiction and dependency, maturing spiritually, demonstrating personal responsibility and becoming productive members of the community.
