Our Mission

Weaving Together a Network of Support

The Birmingham Reentry Alliance is committed to walking alongside individuals returning from incarceration and helping them rebuild their lives with dignity and support by providing housing, healthcare, and workforce opportunities.

By weaving together existing services and adding case management, we connect people to the resources, relationships, and encouragement they need to avoid re-offense, find stability, and become active members of the community.

"Our community cannot separate reentry from recovery. Effective reentry can be achieved with the implementation of an ongoing, evidence-based recovery plan."
