Restoring Lives. Rebuilding Hope.
Serving the Community for over 28+ Years (Founded in 1998)
Every day, men and women leave prison, treatment centers, and the streets determined to start over. But without safe housing, employment, and support, the barriers can feel impossible to overcome. Exodus Homes exists to change that. Founded in 1998, we provide 73 beds of supportive housing in Hickory, North Carolina. Our program is built on structure, accountability, and opportunity—giving people the tools they need to rebuild their lives and return to the community stronger.
