On The Way Home (hereafter referred to as OTWH), is a community and not just a re-entry program created to aid incarcerated citizens as they move toward a successful reentry back into society.  OTWH allows individuals to address the circumstances of how and why they entered the prison system as well as how to avoid those same circumstances once they are out of prison. We will provide services and support needed to live a better life and be productive members of society. We are focused on those who have served longer prison sentences therefore we will help provide them with the knowledge needed to succeed and flourish by providing them with counseling, education, encouragement, specialized training, and supportive services which help address issues such as health, housing, and transportation.

On The Way Home was established in 2023 by two women in Alabama who saw a need for a different type of reentry. The goal was to start a reentry community, not just a program. Somewhere men who have been incarcerated for long periods of time could come and get the help they need while also being comfortable and safe. Both women having an incarcerated loved one they had a different view of reentry than so many others. They wanted men to be able to come to their community and leave changed men.
