Reentry Program Health Healing Skills
Freedom Established was born from a simple yet profound realization: that the path to true restoration requires more than just a place to stay—it requires a reconnection with one's identity, the community, and the earth. We provide a sanctuary where post-incarcerated individuals can rediscover their purpose through the healing power of shared labor and mindful growth.
Founded by a team of advocates, mentors, and horticulturalists, we established our first sober living home in Austin with a focus on holistic re-entry. We believe that by nurturing a garden, individuals learn to nurture themselves. Our programs are designed to build housing stability while fostering physical and spiritual wellness.
Our principles are rooted in the belief that every person deserves a second chance to cultivate a life of integrity. Through gardening, fitness, and spiritual guidance, we provide the tools for lasting transformation. We are more than a program; we are a community committed to restoring lives and celebrating freedom.

Our Values
Dignity & Restoration
We believe that every individual carries inherent worth. Our mission is to restore that sense of dignity by providing the tools and environment necessary for post-incarcerated individuals to reclaim their place in society with pride and purpose.
Organic Growth
Growth is a process, not an event. We embrace the discipline of daily progress through physical wellness, mindful fitness, and the therapeutic rhythm of gardening.
Collective Support
Our sober living homes are safe havens where community becomes the catalyst for lasting sobriety. We foster deep connections through shared experiences and mutual accountability.
Spiritual Grounding
We nurture the spirit through reflection and guidance, helping our residents reconnect with their internal values and discover a renewed identity. By finding peace within, they are better prepared to face the world with resilience and a sense of belonging.
