Welcome to Joseph House

We are a reentry home and community for men released from prison.

We are more than a halfway house - we are a home.

Why We Exist

Joseph House exists because 95% of the 100,000 men and women currently incarcerated in Florida will be released. Without support services, two-thirds will return to prison within three years.

Our Mission

We are breaking the cycle of hopelessness.

The United States has the highest incarceration rate of any country in the world. The state of Florida imprisons its population at a rate higher than any independent democracy on earth. The numbers are staggering. We know that without support, these men are at a high risk of returning to prison.

Joseph House provides safe, trauma-informed housing for men released from prison. Our home, one resident at a time, is breaking the cycle of mass incarceration.
