Prisoner → Homeowner in 2 years. Sound impossible? It’s not. This is a primary goal for many in our transitional program. One of the obstacles ex-offenders face with re-entry is housing stability. Due to their criminal records, most of them can’t rent. Which leaves home ownership as their only option. But how do you possibly qualify for a mortgage when you’ve been behind bars??? At JUMPSTART, we’ve developed tools and programs to help residents: → Find stable work → Save for a downpayment → Build up credit So they can go from prisoner to homeowner in 2 years. It’s not easy. But with the right partners, it IS possible. Huge congrats to Jason for closing on his new home last week. He made the most of the opportunities he received. Would you like to be a part of making stories like this possible? Learn more by reaching out to me or leaving a comment. >>>P.S. How long did it take you to get into your first home? #reentrymatters #prisonministry #homeownership #financialliteracy #wedorecover

I worked as an RN in the prison system. These are just regular folks who made bad decisions and got caught. They are NOT bad people. All of us make bad decisions. Forgiveness is what's required.
