Transitional Housing for Ex Offenders

[Jerica Buchanan]

Hello,

I am an aspiring Real Estate Investor in Grand Rapids, MI that wants to help individuals coming out of prison transition back into society. My goal is to start a transitional home for ex-offenders but I have no idea how to get the ball rolling. I’ve been Googling and YouTubing but haven’t come across anything in depth enough to be helpful. Does anyone have experience in this arena of investing  with tips on how to get started?

Thanks.

@Jerica Buchanan - this is an interesting concept. I suggest you contact the Kent County Parole office and see if you can speak with a parole officer to get connected to current halfway houses in the area. Perhaps you can reverse engineer this by asking the manager of the halfway house how they got their house started?
