Adult Residential Services

Since 1973, 180 Degrees has served men re-entering communities from correctional facilities. Our residential program supports men as they transition back into the community, providing short-term housing and services to help them secure stable employment, maintain sobriety, and establish new living arrangements. 

Each year, more than 200 men walk through the doors on their way to a fresh start. Though not everyone succeeds, those who successfully graduate from programming are able to secure employment and housing, realizing their commitment to remain employed and sober and maintain a stable living space. Currently, our graduation rate is about 70%.

Day Reporting
Ensuring better integration into the community

Our Non-residential Day Reporting program assists transitioned residents who need extra support and accountability in order to remain successful. The program helps offenders living in the community adjust to life’s stressors, such as employment and employability skills.

  • Hands on assistance for employment applications.
  • Access to felon-friendly employment opportunity lists.
  • Employment and Housing Resource Center. Provides a safe and friendly environment for ex-offenders to use appropriate employment and housing websites, make professional calls, create resumes, and write cover letters.
  • Individualized life skills education covers decision-making and how to use cognitive awareness to make long-term decisions that are beneficial.
  • Employment-readiness education teaches offenders the process of job seeking, from writing resumes and cover letters, to preparing for job interviews.
  • Financial responsibility and money management education.
  • Referral to other programs as needed, including mental health access, GED preparation, technical skills opportunities programs with community organizations, and higher education.
