Our Review

Client Testimonial

Hear from the people we’ve helped and their family members on the impact Prison Dawah Relief has offered them to help turn their lives around.

Coming out of prison in 2023, I thought I didn’t need transitional housing. But looking back, the structure, resources, and community it provided were vital... The Prison Dawah Relief Housing Program gave me a bridge to rebuild, reconnect with faith, and reintegrate. I’m truly grateful.

      As a family member of an incarcerated loved one, I was worried about their reintegration into society. The program not only helped with housing but also offered counseling and job placement services. It truly made a difference in their transition back to a normal life.
