"If the father goes to prison, it’s estimated that the next three generations will find themselves in prison as well."
A staggering statistic. At Heart and Hope, we believe that healing begins not with productivity, but with family.
Our mission is to disrupt generational incarceration by supporting individuals, families, and communities to heal, grow, and thrive—before, during, and after incarceration.
Building communities where every individual has the opportunity to thrive, free from the cycles of incarceration.
We slow down to truly listen, understanding each individual’s unique journey.
We walk alongside families and communities, meeting them where they are.
We partner with community organizations to strengthen every home.
We bring education and resources directly into homes and correctional facilities.
Connect with communities and address the root causes of incarceration, providing knowledge and education for incarcerated individuals and their families—fostering a culture of rehabilitation and reintegration.
At Heart and Hope, we take a holistic, people-first approach to breaking the cycle of incarceration. We walk alongside individuals as they rebuild their lives—connecting them with vital resources, practical skills, and community-based support.
We guide families through the healing process, offering counseling and systems-building that strengthens the entire household. And through education and prevention, we invest in future generations before incarceration ever begins.
We meet people where they are. Our individual services offer critical support for those reentering society—providing access to hygiene essentials, transportation, life skills training, and job readiness. Through personalized guidance and connections to programs like AA, OAR, and government resources, we help lay a strong foundation for lasting independence.
Families are at the heart of healing. We provide both individual and family counseling to rebuild trust, strengthen systems, and support healthy reintegration after incarceration. From food assistance to benefit navigation and ongoing emotional support, we walk alongside families as they restore what matters most.
Stopping the cycle starts early. We partner with schools, detention centers, and correctional facilities to provide education and prevention programming that empowers youth and supports systemic change. Through workshops, speaking engagements, and community collaboration, we offer hope and direction before incarceration begins.
