Some Stats

In 8 ½ years we’ve significantly impacted the lives of about 165 men & women (and their families) plus some impact on about 275. The average cost is about $2,367 per year versus around $15,000 per year for the state to lock up these non-violent offenders.

We accept about 55% of all applicants (whether they have money to move in or not). About 35% of them stay longer than 2 months. Our metrics are simple, efficient, and prove efficiency. For about $118,000 per year we can impact the lives of 50 non-violent offenders as we redirect them into productive citizenry versus the state warehousing 4 – 9 for the same figure; at which point they’ll be released and need services like ours.
