Doors of Hope

What Doors of Hope does

Doors of Hope is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2011 and headquartered at 428 E. Bell St., Murfreesboro, Tennessee. It operates a 12-month residential reentry and recovery program for women being released from Rutherford County correctional facilities, as well as an evening Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for women with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. The organization addresses a documented gap in which approximately 40% of women released from Rutherford County correctional facilities face homelessness or unsafe environments, and serves a cumulative base of 750+ clients since inception.

Service delivery is built on a trauma-informed, women-only clinical model that integrates transitional housing, individual and group counseling (LPC-MHSP-S, LCSW, LADAC II), certified peer recovery support (CPRS), job readiness training and placement, transportation, medication management, legal aid coordination, and linkage to medical and dental care. Treatment modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, Motivational Interviewing, the Seeking Safety model, Relapse Prevention Therapy, and 12-Step integration. Reported outcomes include a 68% graduation rate, less than 3% recidivism for graduates against a roughly 67% national average, and 100% client employment upon completion.

Revenue is sourced from individual and corporate donations (including tiered monthly sponsorships for groceries, clothing, hygiene, transportation, documents, and medication), a 2017 Department of Justice grant, program fees of $150 per week from clients after employment begins (with services free during the initial indigent period), and proceeds from the annual Fairway to Hope Golf Tournament. The organization operates with roughly 20 staff under Executive Director Lois Barrett Luke (appointed March 12, 2024), holds TDOC approval and state licensure, and is embedded in a 40+ partner community ecosystem spanning universities, healthcare systems, legal aid, churches, and social service agencies. Total annual revenue is not publicly disclosed.
