About HFBR

Hope and Faith Based Reform is a nonprofit organization based in Houston, Texas, dedicated to helping men rebuild their lives after incarceration, substance abuse, homelessness, and economic hardship.

We believe that true reentry 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 the root causes of recidivism and create pathways to stability, independence, and ownership.

Our Mission

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

Our Vision

A community where justice-involved men 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 adult men (18+) who are:

  • 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 Us Different

Our program goes beyond basic reentry services by combining:

  • 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

  • Financial literacy and credit repair education

  • Homeownership readiness and savings planning

  • Driver’s license and identification assistance

  • Transportation planning and vehicle ownership opportunities after graduation

  • Mental health, trauma-informed, and substance abuse support

  • Wealth-building education, including IRA and Roth IRA basics

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.

We are committed to:

  • Dignity and respect

  • Accountability and personal responsibility

  • Safety and recovery support

  • Financial empowerment

  • Long-term success beyond the program
