Rehab Five is a community-based nonprofit organization founded in 2009, dedicated to helping formerly incarcerated women — and men — successfully reacclimate into society after release.
We understand that the moment someone walks out of prison, the real challenge begins. Where do you sleep? How do you eat? Who will hire you? How do you reconnect with your children? The system drops people at the gate with nothing — no home, no job, no support — and expects them to succeed. Rehab Five exists to change that.
Our five-pillar approach addresses every dimension of reintegration: housing, employment, mental health, family reunification, and community connection. We walk alongside returning citizens from day one through long-term stability — because reentry isn't a moment, it's a journey.
Headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Rehab Five has expanded to serve women in Greensboro, North Carolina, and across the state of Wyoming — meeting the reentry needs of communities that have historically been underserved.
"When she comes home, she doesn't need judgment. She needs a plan, a place to sleep, and someone who believes she can make it. That's what Rehab Five is."
