SO...

LIFE GAVE YOU LEMONS.

NOW WHAT?

Join our program and experience a NEW SELF, NEW LIFE, NEW CARERR. We provide reentry curriculum for incarcerated citizens who have experienced a long sentence and are set to be released. We provide the halfway house where reentrants continue their personal goals set with the assistance of a job coach, recovery coach and therapist. We put them on the fast track for success by covering CBT: identity, trauma healing, technology use, vocational training that leads to industry specific certification that will prepare them to become employed at our social enterprise.

So Life Gave You Lemons, LLC sets you up for success by using proven evidence strategies. The only way to recidivate is if you want to return to prison.

Unlock Your Potential and Create the Life You Desire

We are more than a safe and beautiful place to live.

  • We help reentrants to become the best possible version of themselves. To forgive themselves and learn to love themselves, sometimes for the first time ever. To learn an industry specific skill coupled with real world training that leads to a lucrative career.

  • Peers are not just members in the same cohort but accountability partners. You no longer have to make it on your own, you now have a brotherhood/sisterhood who will hold you up when you can not stand on your own.

  • We're all in this together, here to give you the hand up that you need to get back on your feet. Simply put: WE GOT YOU!

    This is not your typical halfway house, reentry training AND paid employment program. WE PROVIDE EVERYTHING YOU WILL NEED TO LEAD A SUCCESSFUL AND FULFILLING LIFE. We help the whole person to become whole again.

  • We are here to help you to make the best of those lemons life has given you and turn them into a refreshing lemonade!

Happy Customers

So Life Gave You Lemons helped me to completely transform my life. The comradery amongst my house mates, the independence and respect given by supportive staff, outside training and motivation helped me to overcome challenges, reconnect with my family, enroll into school and create a better future for myself. The best thing is that I did not have to do it alone. My housemates were a part of my healing. It felt good to be a part of a team with shared goals. I am forever grateful!
