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.

Often people come to Project RETURN at a time of crisis — not looking beyond their immediate needs. Our experienced staff members, most of whom are formerly incarcerated individuals, work one-on-one with clients to help them navigate through the moment and look beyond that situation to “next steps.” Whether a client needs assistance with housing, employment, AODA counseling or simply someone to vent to, they are welcomed at Project RETURN.

​Our headquarters is now located at 1004 N. Tenth St., #200, in the historic former St. Anthony Hospital building (pictured here), now known as the Historic Tenth Street Residences.
