City of Durham Welcome Home Program

The City of Durham Welcome Home Program is a dedicated resource for residents returning to the community after incarceration. Recognizing that the transition home can be challenging, this program provides a compassionate network of peer support specialists who have shared similar life experiences. By connecting participants with people who understand the unique hurdles of reentry, the program fosters a sense of belonging and helps individuals navigate the complexities of starting over in Durham.

Support through the Welcome Home Program focuses on empowering individuals to achieve stability and long-term success. Peer specialists work alongside participants to help them access essential community resources, develop personal goals, and build a strong foundation for their new chapter. If you or a loved one are preparing for release or have recently returned home, we encourage you to reach out to the Welcome Home team or visit their website to learn more about how their peer-led support can assist in your journey toward a successful recovery and reintegration.
