Passage Home is a 24-month program that offers women leaving prison the opportunity to re-enter the community in positive and responsible ways.
Women are referred to Passage Home by North Carolina Dept. of Corrections social workers within the prison facilities. After securing full-time employment, the women enter into an intensive casework program and begin setting life goals--generally, to reunite with their children and to live self-sufficiently. We offer comprehensive services including family reunification, budgeting, peer support, parenting classes, substance abuse counseling (AA/NA), employment planning & support, and permanent affordable housing.
Many of the women go on to become homeowners and earn college degrees.
