Our Impact

Since 2016, the landscape around incarceration and addiction has been changing—and F5 Project has been in the thick of it. We've watched reentry services grow from scattered efforts to coordinated support systems. We've seen public safety evolve from punishment-first to people-first. And we’ve helped push the conversation forward—louder and more unapologetic than ever.

Through our work, hundreds have secured housing, thousands have received peer support, and countless others have found what they were missing: hope, direction, and a real shot at a second chance.

Since 2016 we've impacted more than 36,000 individuals and families.

Breaking Barriers. Building Futures.

At F5 Project, moving forward means more than overcoming a single barrier. It means having the support, stability, and community needed to build a life beyond incarceration, addiction, and the circumstances that have held someone back.

In 2025, F5 Project served 1,455 individuals across North Dakota and Minnesota on direct services.

Through peer support, care coordination, housing, recovery services, mentorship, and community-based programming, we continued to meet people where they are and walk alongside them as they build what comes next.

Our work is rooted in the belief that lasting change happens through relationships. We help individuals address the barriers beneath the surface—from trauma and housing instability to employment, recovery, transportation, and connection—while providing the accountability and support needed to keep moving forward.

The numbers in our 2025 Annual Impact Report tell an important story. But behind every number is a person, a family, and a community impacted by what becomes possible when people are given the opportunity and support to succeed.

AMANDA

"I've always wanted to change my life, and I want to keep it going, so I reached out to F5 for that reason. They know what it's like and how it feels to be this big in life and can help when you want to rise above the negative things."

DOUG

"Previously I was unable to keep myself in that frame of mind, I continue to go back to drugs every time. But F5 Project has given me the support I need to stay away from them."

KALEANN

"Part of what got me into trouble with my addiction is the isolation, I didn't have the community around me anymore. It doesn't always have to be a medical professional, but having that person that has dealt with the addiction as well, and knows those bad days, and you can see that they've gotten better."
