As more and more men involved with our program are
released from prison, MOV continues to support and encourage them
as they gain employment, reconcile with family members, and become
productive members of society. The optimal environment for this
transition is a safe, supportive residential setting where the men
can benefit from ongoing training, education, life skills,
accountability, counseling, and bible study.
This belief, accompanied with the fact that the Jericho
Project releases 50 men a year, has led Men of Valor to embark
on the bold and unprecedented venture of raising $10,000,000 to build
a centralized "Aftercare Transitional Campus." This "campus" will give
60 men a year transitional living quarters where they can best enter
the work force, find a church home, and grow into the men God wants
them to be. The "campus" will also feature MOV staff offices, a large
assembly hall, counseling rooms, education rooms, exercise area, and
laundry areas.
Since reconciling with family members, especially children,
is a primary goal for many of the men, the "campus" will also feature
people-friendly spaces for family counseling, visitation, and activities.
This aspect of the MOV program is vital for breaking the cycle of crime
in families. Our goal is family reconciliation! Built at no cost to Tennessee taxpayers,
this program will actually save Tennessee taxpayers millions of dollars!
