In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.
John 14:2-3
My Father’s House is a prison reentry nonprofit that provides transitional housing, job placement assistance, life-skills training, and a supportive community to men on parole so they can lead whole and productive lives.
My Father’s House serves men who face a range of challenges and needs as they reintegrate into society.
Due to the nature of our work and the need to provide intensive, holistic services, My Father’s House chooses to work with a limited number of men at a time offering them housing, community, and case management to facilitate successful reintegration into society. Participants remain in our program until they secure steady employment and acquire the skills and support necessary for sustained independence. Typically, most participants graduate within 8-14 months. As men graduate, we enroll new participants. Unfortunately, due to the current state of the carceral system, demand for our services consistently exceeds capacity, resulting in a continuous waitlist that allows us to quickly fill openings as they arise.
As we watch the men who come to live at My Father’s House grow and move on, we hope that they will:
Founded by Jim Blum after his release from prison in 2016, My Father’s House provides housing and support for men on parole, addressing the critical gap for those without a safety net. Launched in 2017, the organization opened its first house in 2018 and has since become a community partner with the Work and Gain Education and Employment Skills (WAGEES) program, funded by the Colorado Department of Corrections and administered by the Latino Coalition for Community Leadership. That same year, My Father’s House partnered with AVSI-USA to launch the Restorative Freedom Initiative, further expanding their reach and impact. Growing steadily, My Father’s House now includes four houses and a partnership with the Caring for Denver Foundation. With a dedicated team and a recidivism rate of 0%, My Father’s House has profoundly impacted its participants’ lives, helping them transition successfully.
