"FRESH START" in Life.

Saving lives, families and communities one day at a time!

Providing re-entry support for individuals and families impacted by substance use and the criminal justice system.

Our Focus

FSRS focuses on restoring lives, families and communities by:

The cost to incarcerate someone in one of New Jersey’s nine state prisons is expected to hit $74,254 a year next year — 12% higher than last year, and nearly four times what the state spends per pupil on schools.

It is important to lower the recidivism rates in our communities by improving individuals' quality of life. Save a life, Save a family!”

There Is A Need!

/ Lived Experience

Real steps forward.

We measure our success by the stability of the families we support. Read how coordinated referrals changed their day-one transition.

"When my brother was released, we didn't know where to turn. Fresh Start handed us a map. Within forty-eight hours, he had a safe room and a job interview scheduled. The system stopped being a maze."

"After completing recovery, finding a fair-chance employer felt impossible. The team here connected me directly to a logistics company that valued my commitment. I started working on day three."
