Caring magazine, a ministry of Salvation Army, published a story about A New Way of Life Reentry Project’s Founder and Executive Director, Susan Burton, in their Winter 2011 edition. Erica Andrews came out to visit one of the reentry homes and interviewed Susan. When asked about how it all started back in 1998, Susan had this to say: “There’s a culture and a connection among formerly incarcerated people that just lives. I began to reach out, write letters and visit parole offices. As I was moving about the community, I would see people and say, ‘you don’t have to be homeless, I have a home here and you can come and stay and we can just live together, be responsible together and recover together.’”
