Let’s connect ABOUT BREATHE AGAIN LIVING
A safe place to begin again. A community to walk with you. Support to help you stand.

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
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
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
Your story deserves respect. We see a person with strengths, goals, and possibilities.
Healthy connection helps people feel supported as they take responsibility for their next steps.
Everyday routines, practical skills, and encouragement help turn goals into steady progress.
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.
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.
