About Phoenix of Resilience

Once Overlooked. Now the Example.

Our Mission

To empower women transitioning from incarceration and other life-altering challenges by providing safe housing, mentorship, and the tools needed for long-term success.

Our Vision

To create communities where women are supported, self-sufficient, and equipped to build brighter futures for themselves and their families.


Our Story

Phoenix of Resilience was founded on the belief that every woman deserves a second chance. From humble beginnings supporting just a few women, we’ve grown into a network that helps dozens each year reclaim stability, dignity, and hope.

Through housing, life skills, and community collaboration, we guide women on their journey to independence and transformation.
