About DAMASCUS WAY RE-ENTRY CENTER INC

Damascus Way Re-Entry Center Inc. is a Christ-centered, live-in residential program that supports men returning from Minnesota correctional facilities as they rebuild productive lives. Founded in 1979, the organization provides housing, case management, peer recovery support, employment and educational assistance, and transitional planning for stays generally ranging from 2 to 12 months. Damascus Way operates as a donor-facing 501(c)(3) nonprofit with an active web presence and partnerships across Minnesota; it serves justice-involved men through a structured residential curriculum that combines practical reentry services with faith-based mentoring. In recent reporting years the organization has increased program capacity and funding to expand services and serve several hundred residents annually. The program emphasizes holistic reentry outcomes — stable housing, gainful employment or education, recovery supports, and restoration of family/community relationships — and reports measurable increases in successful community reintegration for residents who complete the program.
