Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our goal and purpose is to providing a safe and loving place for qualified ex-offenders to live while they rebuild their lives. We provide emotional and spiritual support, encouragement, and experience for those just being released from incarceration or for those who have been forced homeless by ill-considered laws and regulations. We will continue our mission until the citizenry and government learn to relax and abolish laws restricting where some ex-offenders can live, go, and work because such laws are debilitating to those they directly affect and destructive to society as a whole.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Matthew 25 Ministries provides housing for qualified ex-offenders as we show community and government leaders that the laws restricting residence and movement of ex-offenders are not only ineffective in their intended purpose, but actively destructive to the community.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Our location in the "City of Refuge" is a strong position for the residency of our client base - no reasonable law can restrict ex-offenders from moving in or living in our community. All on property staff are ex-offenders living with the same prejudices and restrictions as our client base, and are experienced with the needs of the residents as they deal with sheriff and probation offices. Our presence and service within the city of Pahokee and the larger community is showing that ex-offenders are just people who have made mistakes in their past - just as everyone else.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Matthew 25 Ministries, Inc. gauges its progress to providing a safe and supportive place for ex-offenders to re-start their lives by our consistent 96-100% occupancy of existing units and our ability to fill additional beds as we acquire more space.
