INDIVIDUALS EMPOWERED

PLACES TO CALL HOME
50% of people in Oregon state prisons are released to homelessness. Without access to a home and supportive services, individuals are often stuck in a cycle of homelessness, addiction, and reincarceration. Sponsors helps disrupt this cycle.
A day in Oregon state prison costs $174, while a day of Sponsors supportive reentry costs just $72, and it works! The majority of individuals who transition from prison to Sponsors complete the program, having gained steady income, a safe and stable home, and are free from drugs and alcohol.
“For many years, after being incarcerated, I was okay, but one wrong decision and mistake landed me back in prison. When I rereleased, Sponsors was there for me… again! Sponsors gave me another chance to get things right. I was amazed by how many more resources were available this time! I had a comfortable bed in their transitional housing and immediately connected with a Mentor; both made such a big difference in my success.”
