68% of formerly incarcerated individuals are rearrested within three years, largely due to the lack of stable housing and employment. Global Assistance Initiatives provides safe supportive housing and critical resources such as job training, life skills training and counseling to ensure successful reintegration into the community. While Global Assistance Initiative is newly incorporated as a nonprofit, our mission is already in motion. Over the past 12 months, we operated as a private transitional housing initiative (Global Assistance Living Facilities), successfully providing housing and a fresh start for 14 individuals. We’ve done the groundwork, refined our model, and seen the lives changed firsthand. Now, we are transitioning to a 501(c)(3) structure to scale our reach and invite the community to help us house the next 14 and beyond.
