  • Kassandras Story

    Being a trans woman means there are few options for housing once released from prison. The Journey Project is one of the only programs in King County that will accept LGBTQ+ people. The Journey Project helped me obtain a career in truck driving as well as helped me regain my self esteem after incarceration. This program really helps people, thank you.

  • Maleanas Story

    I had nowhere to release to and then I found The Journey Project. They accepted me for who I am and helped me to grow into the woman I am today. I can't express the good this program does for the community and those needing a chance to get it right. I will forever be greatful to The Journey Project.

  • Charlies Story

    When I arrived at The Journey Project I had nothing. The Journey Project gave clothing, food and a safe place to live and thrive. They provided me the tools to make a life, real life for myself. I wouldn't be here if it where not for The Journey Project.

  • Michaels Story

    The Journey Project gave me a chance to get my life right. They helped me get to all of my medical appointments and always gave me grace when I would slip. They gave me a new way of thinking and acting. I now have a job and have been clean and sober for over a year. This is all in part because The Journey Project believed in me and never gave up on me.

  • James Story

    A friend of mine told me about The Journey Project while I was still inside prison. I didn't know if I was ready for a structured program. I decided to come to The Journey Project once released. As soon as I arrived at the house in Des Moines it felt like home. I was greated and made to feel like I belonged for once in my life. I was able to gain a great job and also attend college thanks to the help of The Journey Project. This is a great place to change your old ways and become a new person in the community.
