Founded on September 25, 2020, and granted 501(c)(3) status on January 22, 2021, Mission Rebirth is dedicated to empowering justice-involved, formerly incarcerated, and vulnerable populations in underserved communities. Initially focused on providing education and training for successful reintegration, we have since expanded to offer comprehensive wrap-around services, addressing immediate barriers to self-sufficiency such as housing, healthcare, transportation, food, and vital documents.

Our holistic, "one-stop-shop" model ensures that clients receive the support they need in a single visit, tackling their diverse and complex needs. We are committed to reducing recidivism and enhancing community safety through our membership in the New Orleans Re-Entry Task Force.

Our services include:

 

Case Management

Individualized plans to address unique client needs.
 

Housing

Collaboration with local agencies and landlords to secure stable housing.

We have had great success with our landlords’ getting clients housed. In 2023, we were able to assist in 53 clients being housed. Our landlords feel more comfortable with housing our clients based on Mission Rebirth providing lifelong case management and ensuring that the client is getting all needs for self-sufficiency in addition to a stable place to stay.

By addressing these immediate needs, we aim to empower our clients to overcome homelessness and access the resources necessary for self-sufficiency.

Our office space includes a computer lab, behavioral health office, conference room, and clothing closet. We seek funding to sustain and expand our impactful services.
