What is this Program?
Phoenix Odyssey was developed from working with the needs of the Phoenix Project folks to facilitate a smoother transition from incarceration to living healthier lives in the community. When the Phoenix Project clients were interviewed several months after they returned home from prison they indicated that a reliable social support network was one of the key elements of their successful re-integration.
These networks included their families and the staff at Vantage Point who also worked on the Phoenix Project while they were incarcerated. The post-release process is often difficult because of the clients’ inability to navigate the internet, prioritize or organize their daily schedules, work on developing reliable and safe interpersonal relationships.

Our approach is communal, with stakeholders from businesses, trade unions, fitness and wellness, peer navigators, licensed professionals, and the formerly incarcerated. Community means all of us
Mission Statement
PURPOSE OF PHOENIX
The purpose of Phoenix Odyssey is to create a community of people, who have been justice involved, to build collaborations with relevant stakeholders, businesses, mentorships, and programs that enhance transition and build a solid foundation for the future of the community and individuals.
Phoenix Odyssey is the only post-release program that is available to help the formerly incarcerated to continue their journey with the staff they have already worked with while incarcerated and that includes bringing their families and children to create a comprehensive approach to long lasting success!
