WATCH: Sam's story

"I wasn't sure what I was going to do (when I got released). I honestly was going to be homeless and probably back into the same cycle of stuff. But I got very lucky and ended up at Project RETURN," Sam shared on the day of his graduation from Project RETURN Bridge Housing in December 2025. "When I first came here, I thought it was going to be like another jail facility, and it was like more of a family ... Something that surprised me a lot was more doors opening for me. I was noticing I was on the right path."

Learn more about Project RETURN

OUR MISSION: Project RETURN (Returning Ex-incarcerated People To Urban Realities ​and Neighborhoods) exists to help individuals who have experienced incarceration make a positive, permanent return to community, family and friends.

What We Do

Project RETURN helps clients overcome barriers created by incarceration to help aid in a successful reentry, with programs offered to address the direct needs of those we serve.

Celebrate the RETURN

Every year, Project RETURN hosts a gala for all of its community members to come together in celebration of the ​organization's mission.

Volunteering with Us

​Project RETURN grew out of a volunteer base that people returning from incarceration deserved a second chance.  Volunteers are an essential part of the mission of Project RETURN.
