Exodus Homes is dedicated to restoring lives and rebuilding hope for individuals transitioning from incarceration, addiction treatment, and homelessness. Each year, many seek a fresh start but face significant barriers, such as lack of safe housing and job opportunities. At Exodus Homes, we believe in second chances.
Our mission extends beyond providing shelter; we offer comprehensive support through safe housing tailored to individual needs, vocational training to equip residents with job skills, and substance abuse recovery support. Additionally, we provide life skills training and community re-entry programs to foster self-sufficiency.
The impact of our work is profound, with over 80% of residents achieving sobriety, securing employment, and reuniting with their families. By breaking cycles of addiction and homelessness, we not only transform individual lives but also contribute to safer and stronger communities. Exodus Homes is committed to empowering individuals to reclaim their lives and create lasting change.

Supportive Housing
This program provides all residents with structured, closely supervised living in sequential levels. Residents receive support for employment, budgeting, social skills, and coping skills, along with access to spiritual growth opportunities and peer support.
Peer Support & Mentorship
Recovery is a journey, and no one should walk it alone. Our residents receive personalized peer support from trained professionals who have firsthand experience with recovery. These mentors provide guidance, encouragement, and accountability, helping residents navigate sobriety, personal growth, and reintegration into the community.
In-House Recovery Meetings
Residents participate in two mandatory weekly recovery meetings led by senior members of our program. These meetings foster a strong support network where residents share experiences, build connections, and stay committed to their recovery journey.
Vocational Training & Job Readiness
Through Exodus Works and our corporate partners, residents gain hands-on job training, employment skills, and real-world work experience. These opportunities
empower them to rebuild their confidence and prepare for long-term success in the workforce.
Exodus helps break the cycle of addiction, incarceration, and homelessness by providing a community that includes housing, food, job training, jobs, and peer support.
Why?
- In the US, approximately 10 million people are released from prisons and jails a year.
- Of those, 1 million do not have a place to go when they are released.
- For every 1 person in NC that breaks the cycle of prison/addiction/homelessness, over $55,000 is saved.
- Over 57,000 people are in jails/prisons in NC. (cost of over $3 billion a year).
Stories of Redemption
Joseph
I was born here in Hickory. I was raised in an alcoholic family. All my life, I saw my father, mother, uncles, and friends drink and do drugs, so I thought that this was the way of life—until it led me to juvenile detention.
Reginald
I came to Exodus on May 10, 2024. I was dealing with a lot of past situations and using cocaine. Cocaine was my way of just getting by, day by day. The loss of my grandmother and my daughter, back to back, caused me to have a mental breakdown. Read More...
