Tiered Reentry
Individualized reentry plans built 60 to 90 days before release, immediate stabilization on day one, and intelligent routing to the right level of post-release support based on pathway, readiness and need.

Individualized reentry plans built 60 to 90 days before release, immediate stabilization on day one, and intelligent routing to the right level of post-release support based on pathway, readiness and need.
Purpose-built daytime community and economic hubs in Houston, Dallas and Austin/San Antonio where returning citizens connect with peers, executive mentors, pitch events and economic opportunity.
Structured, values-based housing for high-risk graduates. 92 beds today across Houston and Dallas, scaling toward 337 by 2030. Recidivism among residents runs 2 to 4 percent, against 10 percent for all PEP graduates.
The only CDFI in the country lending exclusively to people with a criminal record. Loans from $2,500 to $200,000, every borrower committed to 50+ hours of coaching, $2.5M+ deployed, a 93 percent repayment rate and zero borrower recidivism.
Post-release support is not uniform across pathways. CORE graduates receive PEP’s full reentry continuum. Incentivized housing and Online completers are routed to partner organisations for basic necessities, with PEP focusing its distinctive resources on character-based community, business aspiration and Collider access.
Transitional housing residents recidivate at 2 to 4 percent, against 10 percent across all PEP graduates. The bridge matters as much as the formation.
