About HFBR

Hope and Faith Based Reform is a nonprofit organization based in Houston, Texas, dedicated to helping individuals rebuild their lives after incarceration, substance abuse, homelessness, aging out of foster care, and/or economic hardship.

We believe that true success requires more than temporary housing. It requires recovery support, accountability, job readiness, financial education, and long-term planning. Our program is designed to address those in, and aging out, of the foster care system, as well as address the root causes of recidivism and create pathways to stability, independence, and ownership.

Our Mission

To provide transitional housing and comprehensive reentry services that support sobriety, employment, financial stability, education and long-term independence through a structured, recovery-oriented, hope-filled program.

Our Vision

A community where system-impacted individuals are equipped with the tools, support, and opportunities needed to achieve lasting stability, rebuild their lives, and contribute positively to society.

Who We Serve

Hope and Faith Based Reform serves the youth & adults who fall in one or more of the following categories:

  • In the foster care system

  • Aging out of the foster care system

  • Formerly incarcerated

  • Experiencing housing instability or homelessness

  • In recovery or seeking recovery support

  • Facing barriers to employment due to criminal history

  • Motivated to rebuild their lives through structure, accountability, and support

What Makes HFBR Different

  • Structured transitional housing

  • Weekly onsite Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings

  • Weekly drug and alcohol testing for accountability

  • Workforce training in skilled trades and felon-friendly industries

We focus not only on short-term stability, but on long-term economic empowerment.

Our Approach

Hope and Faith Based Reform uses a trauma-informed, recovery-oriented, and accountability-based model. Residents participate in structured programming, individualized service planning, and supportive services designed to promote responsibility, growth, and self-sufficiency.

Participation in recovery supports and program requirements is designed to support success, not punishment.
