Eureka House is for male ex-offenders returning to society. Its purpose is to provide a structured and supportive environment where ex-offenders can gain employment, learn skills and progress toward independence. The program maintains a drug and alcohol free environment with random testing.
The facility is in a residential setting with access to public transportation. Residents are placed two to a room. The facility has five beds and is fully furnished. It has modern kitchen cabinets, two full baths, carpet, central air, telephone, computers, cable TV and is equipped with washer and dryer. Residents cook and prepare their own food and maintain good housekeeping habits at all times.
In 2003 Eureka House was founded by and is the sole ministry of Eureka Ministry Inc. It is a 501(c)(3) tax status organization and has successfully served ex-offenders since its inception. Most of our past residents have become productive tax paying citizens. Some have started their own businesses. Many have become better fathers and husbands, and have become community leaders. The recidivism rate of residents completing our program is below 20%. The national average for recidivism is 65%.
