Community
Remain in a stable, encouraging environment while you save and build toward full independence.
Pay It Forward
A portion of your monthly dues will directly fund someone else's 90-Day Transition — helping the next person get back on their feet.
At $750/month, members will pay far below regular housing — which often requires 3× the monthly rate as proof of income, making a place to lay your head out of reach even for working adults. Independent Membership will bridge that gap. A portion of every member's monthly dues will be used to pay it forward — funding someone else's free 90-Day Transition Program.
Eligibility
- ✓Graduates of the 90-Day Transition Program
- ✓Employed or receiving verifiable income
- ✓In good standing with community covenants
- ✓Desire to remain in a supportive, community-centered environment
How to Apply
Independent Membership will be offered to all 90-Day Program graduates in good standing. Once our center opens, speak with your case manager during your final week of the program to transition seamlessly.

Pay It Forward
A portion of your monthly dues will directly fund someone else's 90-Day Transition — helping the next person get back on their feet.
Many working adults are homeless not because of unemployment, but because landlords require income of 3× the monthly rent as a qualification — putting even modest apartments out of reach. Direct Entry will meet you where you are. A portion of every member's monthly dues will be used to pay it forward — funding someone else's free 90-Day Transition Program.

- ✓Currently employed with verifiable income
- ✓Unhoused or unable to afford standard housing
- ✓No active violent criminal history
- ✓Ability to pay the $750/month membership fee

Learn About Direct EntryAbba's Second Chance
A clean record. A fresh start. A real future.
What's Included
Court Advocacy
We partner with local courts and public defenders to advocate for expungement eligibility for qualifying nonviolent offenses.
Governor's Pardon Support
Our legal partners assist members in preparing and submitting pardon applications to state Governor's Pardon Boards.
Record Expungement
Guidance through the expungement process — clearing records that prevent housing applications, employment, and licensing.
Legal Aid Partnerships
Connections to pro bono attorneys and legal aid organizations specializing in criminal record relief.
Employment Re-Entry
With a cleared record, members gain access to expanded job opportunities, professional licensing, and higher-wage careers.
Housing Barriers Removed
Criminal records are a leading cause of housing rejections. Expungement opens doors to private rentals and homeownership.
A past mistake should not define a person's entire future. Abba's Second Chance believes in redemption — and works to make it legally real. We are actively building partnerships with courts and Governor's Pardon Boards across the country to give our members the clean slate they've earned.
Eligibility
- ✓Current or former Abba's House community member
- ✓Nonviolent criminal record (misdemeanor or felony)
- ✓Completed sentence, probation, or parole
- ✓Demonstrated commitment to rehabilitation and positive change
How to Apply
Once our center opens, speak with your case manager or any Abba's House staff member to begin a Second Chance assessment. We will review your record, identify eligibility, and connect you with the appropriate legal resources.
