Everyone Needs a
place to call home

To succeed after incarceration or treatment, having a safe and supportive environment is key! Stable housing provides improved outcomes surrounding employment, health, education, recovery, staying law-abiding, and a person’s overall well-being.   

Our Transitional Living Program has supportive homes across North Dakota and one in Moorhead, Minnesota. These houses offer a safe, warm place to call home that is conducive to reintegrating back into the community and building a support system. Our program utilizes a phase system for our housing participants. The purpose of this system is to offer structure, yet independence as individuals continue their process of transiting into everyday life.  

 Our team supports all pathways to recovery, such as but not limited too: 12 Step, Faith-based, Smart Recovery, Refugee Recovery, Medicated Assisted Treatment, Peer Recovery Support - you name it! F5 Project cheerleads for our participants while we assist in identifying what pathway works for them and supporting them along the way.
