Jobs, housing, and someone standing with you.
Fresh Start connects recently released individuals with job-ready training, real housing leads, and mentors who have navigated the same barriers. Practical help from day one.
Three things that move the needle
Interview-ready in weeks
Landlords who will consider you
Someone who has been in the room
Resume writing, mock interviews, and direct employer introductions. We prepare you for the conversation employers need to hear, not a rehearsed script.
We maintain a current list of housing leads from landlords who work with our participants. Application coaching and document prep included from the start.
Mentors are matched based on industry and background, not availability. They know the specific barriers you'll face and have cleared them themselves.
Employment secured. Housing confirmed.
Participants who complete our employment track have secured offers within 60 days. Housing placements follow within the first 90. These are not projections — they are current averages.
Employers partnered with Fresh Start fill open roles faster with candidates who arrive prepared, vetted, and supported by an active mentor network.
Employers, volunteers, and mentors start here.
Clear roles, no paperwork maze. Whether you're hiring, mentoring, or giving, there's a direct path in.
