ABOUT BREATHE AGAIN LIVING

Housing is the foundation.
People are the heart.

A safe place to begin again. A community to walk with you. Support to help you stand.

WHY WE’RE HERE

A fresh start takes
more than an address.

It takes somewhere to feel settled, people who see your potential, and practical support for the steps ahead.

Founded by Tameka Howard and shaped by lived experience, Breathe Again Living is preparing to offer shared transitional housing for women, women with children, and men rebuilding their lives.

Our approach brings safe housing together with structure, accountability, life skills, employment resources, coaching, and an optional Healing Program. We believe people deserve dignity, encouragement, and the opportunity to discover what comes next.

OUR MISSION

A place to heal.
Support to stand.

To provide a safe, structured community where women and men can heal, recover, renew, and rebuild—supported by coaching, practical resources, accountability, and people who understand the journey.

OUR VISION

Changed lives.
A stronger community.

We envision a community where people grow in stability, confidence, purpose, and independence—and where those who have been encouraged can reach back and encourage someone else.

HOW WE WALK TOGETHER

Compassion with purpose.
Encouragement with accountability.

Dignity

Your story deserves respect. We see a person with strengths, goals, and possibilities.

Community

Healthy connection helps people feel supported as they take responsibility for their next steps.

Growth

Everyday routines, practical skills, and encouragement help turn goals into steady progress.

Rooted in faith. Respectful of choice.

Faith, compassion, and hope shape the heart of BAL. Our Healing Program and religious activities are voluntary. Residents may choose opportunities for encouragement and spiritual support through outside faith-based partners.

One community. Separate homes.

We are planning a home for women, including women with children, and a separate home for men. Young adults would be considered for the appropriate home based on individual needs, program fit, and availability.
