What Homes By Exodus, Llc does

Homes By Exodus, LLC is the operating entity of Exodus Outreach Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)(3) faith-based nonprofit founded in 1998 and headquartered in Hickory, North Carolina. The organization delivers supportive housing, addiction recovery support, and reintegration services to justice-involved individuals and people recovering from substance use disorders. It operates 73 beds across multiple residential properties and a 12-person leadership team that runs both the residential program and the supporting social enterprises. Outcomes reported include a 90% recidivism prevention rate against a 60% statewide benchmark and an 80% rate of sobriety and employment retention among program completers, with 159 individuals served in 2024.

The core service model combines residential housing with structured programming, peer support staffed largely by individuals with lived experience in incarceration and addiction, and vocational pathways built through corporate employer partnerships (including Sherrill Furniture, Hickory Springs, TAIJI, and Vanguard). A portfolio of social enterprises — a landscaping company, a moving service, a thrift store, and the Exodus Dawgs 4 A Cause food truck — provides workforce training for residents while generating earned income.

Revenue is sourced from tax-deductible individual and institutional donations, foundation and government grants, and earned revenue from the social enterprises. The most recent capital initiative is the Critical Facilities Campaign, a $583,000 effort to refurbish five properties and expand program capacity. Outreach and donor engagement were extended in 2024-2025 through the launch of the Exodus Talks podcast. Referrals are sourced from North Carolina prisons, jails, and treatment centers, with organic demand observed from out-of-state populations including New York, New Jersey, and the Western U.S.
