Michael’s Heart is a nonprofit dedicated to giving men a second chance after incarceration, addiction, or homelessness.

Founded with compassion and lived experience, we believe everyone deserves a safe place to begin again. Our programs are built on structure, support, and dignity—helping residents reenter society with the tools they need to thrive.

Michael’s Heart began with a simple vision: that no man should be left behind. After seeing the gaps in reentry housing and the struggles many face alone, we created a space rooted in accountability and love. Whether it’s a ride to a counseling session or a clean bed to sleep in, we meet people where they are—and walk with them toward a better future.

Our Vision

At Michael’s Heart, we envision a world where every man leaving prison, addiction, or homelessness has access to safe housing, support, and a second chance.
We believe healing begins with stability — and that with the right guidance, recovery and reintegration are possible for everyone.

Our transitional housing is more than a place to live — it’s a structured, supportive community built on trust, dignity, and growth.
