We are excited to announce that we are opening a transition house in Champaign for people coming home from women's prisons.
The Housing Authority of Champaign County has granted us usage of a residence for this purpose. The renovations, done by our GoMAD team, are about 95% complete. We aim to hold a launch in December. We will share the details on this list.
If you have a relative or loved one who has spent some considerable time in an IDOC women's facility, and is in need of accommodation when they come home, please forward their details to us and we will send them an application.
We also would welcome donations of furniture, kitchen appliances, new linens and money.
