OpenDoors operates two transitional women’s houses, the Foundations House and the Women and Children’s House. Each program provides a host of supportive services to justice-involved women as they work towards re-entry and recovery. Over the past two years, we have helped over 100 women in this program.

We are excited to further develop our women’s services with the introduction of the She Thrives Program. This project is funded by a recent grant from the Department of Justice’s Second Chance Act which will allow OpenDoors to provide our services to 300 women over three years.

As part of this project, we will be running a randomized controlled trial to measure the impact of re-entry services on recidivism. This will allow us to rigorously prove that we can end the cycle of addiction and incarceration by investing in people, not prisons.
