Mission Statement

Brookside CDC is dedicated to creating a community of hope by connecting, serving, and walking alongside those in need.

About This Cause

At Brookside CDC, our mission to create a community of hope is brought to life through dedicated programs focused on reentry and housing. We understand that individuals impacted by the justice system face significant hurdles, including limited access to stable housing, meaningful employment, educational opportunities, and vital supportive networks. That's why we strategically focus our efforts on these critical areas. We empower individuals by providing services designed to foster self-sufficiency and help them thrive within our community. We don't do this alone. We partner with community organizations, church partners, and individuals. Together, we bring services that mirror Jesus' model of compassion and love directly to our community, rebuilding lives with the Gospel as the central motivation for all that we do. REENTRY WE BEGIN BY SEEING EACH PERSON AS AN INDIVIDUAL,NOT AS A STATISTIC. As we learn each person’s story, we are able to look past the labels and stigma associated with their background. Brookside Reentry mission is to care for those reentering from incarceration, homelessness and addiction. We do this through our Isaiah House, 18 month residential discipleship program; weekly meetings that offer community and support; and connecting individuals to services that help them on their journey and prevent recidivism. HOUSING WE PROVIDE SAFE AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING TO INDIVIDUALS THROUGH A COMMUNITY CENTRIC APPROACH. Brookside addresses the critical issue of unsafe, unaffordable housing that destabilizes lives and contributes to recidivism. We offer a community-centered solution that includes Isaiah Houses, Short-Term Transitional Housing (up to 18 months) based on a Housing First model, providing safe housing and intensive support for stabilization and employment. Building upon this foundation, our Traditional Housing (up to 24 months) guides residents toward permanent housing with continued support and community engagement. Through these focused programs, Brookside CDC goes beyond providing immediate assistance; we cultivate a holistic environment where individuals can truly flourish. This is where our core values of hope come to life in every interaction: HOPE through relationships: A place to be seen, known, and loved. Imagine a place where your story matters, where you're cherished as an individual. That's the Brookside CDC family! We're breaking down stigma and building authentic connections. Guided by Jesus' compassion, we're creating a vibrant community where everyone feels seen, known, and loved. This is where the journey to a new beginning begins in an atmosphere of support and acceptance! We’re not just offering programs; we’re building a family. HOPE through opportunity: A chance to grow. We believe in second chances and the incredible potential within everyone! Brookside CDC is on a mission to shatter barriers holding people back. We provide real support—from securing safe housing and stable jobs to overcoming transportation issues. Additionally, we nurture emotional and spiritual well-being, empowering individuals to overcome challenges and lead in their life and communities. Getting them ready to grow, thrive, and make their mark! HOPE through a promised future: A legacy of hope in Jesus. More than a helping hand, it's an invitation to a transformed life, filled with the unstoppable hope of Jesus! Our bold vision is to see those once cast aside rise, renewed and reconciled. We walk alongside each person, fostering a community where hope is a lived reality. We're building a purpose-filled future where faith transforms stories and creates new beginnings.
