Organization Profile

A New Entry is a grassroots, board-governed 501(c)(3) non-profit with a strong history of serving the community since November 2004. A New Entry was incorporated in July 2005 and is 80% minority-governed. We substantially include target population representation on the board, staff and within volunteer and peer support operations. Our corporate and staff offices are located at 500 E. 7^th St. within the A ustin Resource Center for the Homeless, just blocks from the Central East A ustin Weed and Seed area. Our staff is made up of highly trained, educated and experienced individuals who have weathered life’s storms and choose to serve from grateful and passionate hearts.

The idea which has become ANewEntry was established in November 2004 from experience working with formerly incarcerated persons (FIPs) who were released with little or no community reentry support. This lack of resources and supportive accountability often resulted in homelessness and corresponding high recidivism rates. The organization was initially formed to address the dearth of affordable, supportive, home-style housing for those reentering Travis County and recovering from difficult life decisions and circumstances that may have led to incarceration, homelessness, and/or substance abuse. ANewEntry now provides or facilitates the provision of the following services for the homeless, those in recovery, and FIPs:

	Goal-oriented case management services including development of (1) permanent housing, (2) living-wage employment, and (3) personal stability.
	Employment access and retention support through training, collaboration and practical resources.
	Facilitating access to affordable, supportive housing, including two A NE managed recovery-supportive homes.
	One-on-one and group counseling and education classes for moral and spiritual development, anger management, domestic violence, and addictions.
	Development and placement of adult mentors and volunteers.
