Everyone Needs a
place to call home

To succeed after incarceration or treatment, having a safe and supportive environment is key! Stable housing provides improved outcomes surrounding employment, health, education, recovery, staying law-abiding, and a person’s overall well-being.   

Our Transitional Living Program has supportive homes across North Dakota and one in Moorhead, Minnesota. These houses offer a safe, warm place to call home that is conducive to reintegrating back into the community and building a support system. Our program utilizes a phase system for our housing participants. The purpose of this system is to offer structure, yet independence as individuals continue their process of transiting into everyday life.  

 Our team supports all pathways to recovery, such as but not limited too: 12 Step, Faith-based, Smart Recovery, Refugee Recovery, Medicated Assisted Treatment, Peer Recovery Support - you name it! F5 Project cheerleads for our participants while we assist in identifying what pathway works for them and supporting them along the way.

Our housing program fees $640 per month which covers program and living costs (rent, utilities, wifi, etc!). There is assistance available.

We ask for a minimum commitment of 4 months, with most housing participants typically staying for around 1 year. Everybody's situation varies so much - we want to see individuals utilize this program as a launchpad to become stable in their transition and able to manage finances, relationships, and their overall wellbeing! 

We are unable to accept anybody who has any sex crimes, crimes against children, and numerous serious assaults. Depending on various assault charges, we do try to look at each situation as uniquely as possible. We will of course help individuals find housing resources elsewhere depending on their needs! 

Aside from the background requirements listed above, we ask that individuals be sober from substance use and/or alcohol use for at least 30 days, have no pending charges, and have completed required treatments.
