Words from Founder, Jahmalie Smith

A Place 2 Go started because I saw a pressing need for supportive housing and resources for formerly incarcerated elderly adults. This insight came during my own time in prison, where I had heartfelt conversations with friends who had been incarcerated for over 20 years. Their experiences highlighted a lack of family support and programs tailored to their age group, as most initiatives focused on younger individuals. 

Our mission is to provide formerly incarcerated older adults in need of stable housing with a safe, supportive environment. We strive to empower these individuals through comprehensive resources and services, fostering their return to the community and enhancing their overall well- being.

 At A Place 2 Go, our vision is to be a beacon of hope and support for every formerly incarcerated older adult who desires a sense of belonging during their reintegration into society. Knowing there is help when you need it, is key to prosperity. We aspire to create a community where every individual feels valued, supported, and empowered to rebuild their lives with dignity and confidence.
