About THE FIRST L A P INC

The First L A P Inc (Life After Prison) is a Hawaii-based 501(c)(3) residential reentry program that operates a faith-informed sober-living house and mentoring services for men on parole or otherwise transitioning out of incarceration. The organization emphasizes sobriety, community reintegration, family reconciliation, and support for self-sufficiency through counseling, peer mentoring, and structured residential rules.

Founded and recognized as tax-exempt in 2003, the organization maintains an operating presence in Waipahu and files annual Form 990 returns reporting program service and contribution revenue. In recent years it has continued residential program operations and community collaboration, and its leadership (founder/executive director) has participated in statewide reentry and corrections task-force discussions and community events.
