A New Beginning Starts Here
The Birmingham Re-Entry Alliance is a collaborative network of nonprofits, faith groups, and government partners working together to support individuals returning to our community after incarceration.
Faces of Hope
Weaving Together a Network of Support
Every year, hundreds of individuals return to Birmingham after incarceration — many with nothing. No housing. No identification. No healthcare. No plan.
The Birmingham Re-Entry Alliance brings together ten partner organizations to provide comprehensive, wraparound support. Rather than creating a new organization, we harness the strengths of existing nonprofits, faith groups, and government agencies to collaboratively serve our community's most vulnerable members.

John R.'s Story
A U.S. Navy veteran, John was released in June 2025 and required to wear an ankle monitor and undergo drug testing. Through the Alliance, he received housing at Three Hots and a Cot and found employment at the VA.
With a substance use history dating back 30 years, John has now achieved the longest period of being drug-free in his life. He was recently offered a full-time position as house manager.
He is thriving.
