Jericho Road Ministries

What Jericho Road Ministries does

Jericho Road Ministries, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) faith-based nonprofit headquartered in Brooksville, Florida, operating the REbuilt Recovery Program, a structured 5- to 25-month residential recovery pathway for men and women experiencing substance dependency. The program is delivered across two gender-specific residential facilities (Joshua's House for men and the newly opened Esther's House for women), supported by a weekly Food Barn distribution program, transitional housing at the restored Mondon Hill property, and structured curriculum phased across Ezra (0-5 months), Nehemiah (6-20 months), and Exodus (21-25 months). The organization is ECFA-accredited and integrates faith-based spiritual development with case management, mental health support, and Florida Ready to Work job-training certification.

The organization is funded through a diversified mix of sources: revenue from five thrift store locations across Hernando County (County Line, Winchester, Wiscon, Sunrise, and the Jefferson Store opened in 2025), individual and recurring donations via the Green Circle monthly giving program, contributions from 27 partner churches and broader faith-community supporters, institutional grants (Community Foundation Tampa Bay, HHS Office of Community Services), and earned revenue through in-store fundraising mechanics that funded 1,845 days of recovery in 2025. Distribution and customer-acquisition rely on church referrals, community graduation ceremonies at partner congregations, center tours, video storytelling via the REbuilt Stories series, and physical retail foot traffic at thrift locations.

The current cost to support one participant through the initial 5-month phase is $3,500, funded entirely by donor generosity, with 36 graduates completing the program in 2025 and over 50% of staff being graduates or current residents. The 2026 strategic agenda targets 110 total residential beds and a sixth thrift store, indicating capacity scaling financed by the existing donor and retail-revenue base.

Direct peers

• Adult & Teen Challenge USA: National faith-based residential recovery organization operating a long-term, Christ-centered recovery model similar in philosophy and structure to Jericho Road's REbuilt program, but at vastly larger national scale.
• Citygate Network: National network of faith-based rescue missions providing residential recovery and reentry services; Jericho Road is an existing partner/member, making it the closest operational peer network.
• The Foundry Ministries: Faith-based nonprofit operating residential addiction recovery, thrift stores, and food assistance in Bessemer, Alabama — essentially the same integrated operating model as Jericho Road in a different region.
• The Bowery Mission: Faith-based nonprofit in New York offering residential recovery programs, transitional housing, and food services — closely mirrors Jericho Road's mission and programmatic mix in a major urban context.
• Union Rescue Mission: Faith-based rescue mission in Los Angeles providing residential recovery, shelter, and food services — comparable multi-program model with a faith-centered recovery framework.

Broad incumbents

• The Salvation Army USA: Large faith-based nonprofit operating adult rehabilitation centers, thrift stores, and food assistance — overlapping Jericho Road's three core program lines but at national scale across a broader portfolio.
• Goodwill Industries International: Nonprofit social enterprise model funded primarily through thrift retail, with revenue underwriting job training and community programs — directly comparable to Jericho Road's thrift-funded ministry approach.
• Volunteers of America: National faith-based nonprofit delivering residential recovery, reentry, housing, and food programs — overlapping Jericho Road's service lines at much greater scale across multiple states.

Others

• NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness): National mental health advocacy and support organization; NAMI Hernando is an active Jericho Road partner, making the national body an adjacent ecosystem peer rather than a direct competitor.
• Habitat for Humanity ReStores: Nonprofit home-furnishings thrift retail operation that funds Habitat's housing mission — the closest structural analog to Jericho Road's thrift-store-funded ministry model, though in housing rather than recovery.
