“People who have just been released from prison are typically stigmatized, overlooked, and pigeonholed by society. When they walk into project return, they discover that here they are valued, heard, and encouraged. While reduction of incarceration and other criminal justice reform continues to elude the u.s., project return serves as part of the solution. Project return is solely dedicated to the successful new beginnings of people returning to our community after incarceration. Now in its 39th year of service to the nashville and middle tennessee community, project return provides reentry assistance, including workforce development, to hundreds of men and women each year. We place employment at the core of our work, because it is the best predictor of a successful future for the people we serve, and all of our program services and business development are woven together to ensure maximal employment opportunity. The mission of project return is to provide services and connect people with resources needed to return successfully to work and community after incarceration.”

“References, and their financial literacy and wherewithal. Following the success of proe, and recognizing the severe need for affordable rental housing that is accessible to people with a conviction history, project return launched its second social enterprise, "proh" (project return opportunities for housing), in 2017. Through proh, project return acquires and rehabs modest, scattered-site (anti-enclave), multi- family properties, which are available to rent for those who have come through project return's programs. Since its launch in 2017, project return has purchased and rehabbed 16 units (duplexes and triplexes) in sites scattered across nashville for rent to people who are leading successful new lives after incarceration.”

“Wraparound support, which includes outfitting them with footgear, attire, and the necessary tools for their job. Proe generates revenue by securing and invoicing on its staffing arrangements with the companies needing workforce and partnering with project return. Now in its fifth year, we've employed over 500 people immediately after prison, paid them more than 1 million in wages, and generated more than 1 million in earned revenue.”

“In-reach: project return conducts in-reach sessions on a near-daily basis with groups of men and women in incarceration facilities across the region and state sparking connections such that they will come to project return upon their release. By design, no one is ever mandated for project return's services - people come to project return of their own volition - which makes connecting with them in prison, and sparking their motivation, all the more vital.”
