For over 45 years, Spiritus Christi Prison Outreach has helped people coming home from incarceration in Rochester rebuild their lives. We provide a continuum of housing paired with supportive programming that goes beyond basic needs, focusing on the things that make us human: a sense of belonging, participation in arts and culture, and the chance to give back. In a country that incarcerates nearly 2 million people, the demand for effective humanizing reentry services is huge, and meeting it is one of the most powerful things we can do for social justice. 90% of the women we housed last year were survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, harassment, and/or human trafficking. Last year, 94% of our residents reentered the community without recidivism, helping to heal families and make Rochester a safer community for all. Every step you run helps someone take their first steps toward a new beginning. SCPO is non-proselytizing.
