Safe House Sponsorship
Partner With Empowered to Change International
As of July 1st 2026 we lost $750,000 in state funding.
Over 100 people are counting on the Church to step up. The time is NOW!
Will You Help Us Keep the Doors Open?
Jennifer Johnson — a community leader who has seen this ministry firsthand — personally committed $1,000 per month to support Empowered to Change International until the end of the year.
Who will join her?
For almost 12 years we have been providing safe housing and comprehensive programs for men and women coming out of incarceration, abuse, self-medicating abuse, and trauma right here in Florida. We serve over 100 people every single day. We are approved aftercare providers for the FBI, Homeland Security, and Operation Underground Railroad.
It works.
88% employment rate at graduation — above the 60-80% national benchmark
9% relapse rate among graduates — compared to 40-60% nationally
72% arrive unemployed. 88% graduate with a job.
And right now we need the Body of Christ to show up.
