PEERS Navigation

Our PEERS Navigation Program connects formerly incarcerated individuals with trained peer navigators who share lived experience and authentic understanding. Through relationship-based support, not case management, we focus on strengths, dreams, and mutual healing. Each participant receives personalized guidance, encouragement, and practical help to navigate reentry, build leadership skills, and foster lasting community integration. At ABW, we believe transformation happens through partnership, this is “Reentry Through Relationship.”

Supportive Housing

Our Supportive Housing Program helps formerly incarcerated individuals secure safe, stable homes by building trusted relationships with local landlords and community partners. We provide housing assistance, advocacy, and peer support to navigate barriers to both rental and ownership opportunities.
