“Community leaders, including First Lady MK Pritzker, Mayor Tom McNamara, and Rep. Maurice West, gathered to celebrate the opening of the Sisters by Love House, a new reentry home for formerly incarcerated women. This initiative is part of the national SAFE Housing Network and aims to support women returning to the Illinois community after incarceration.
Every woman deserves to return home to a place that restores her dignity.
“Susan Burton, founder of A New Way of Life, emphasized the home’s role in offering opportunities to reunite with families and reduce recidivism. ‘Here, women will find a community that believes in them, opportunities to grow, and a space to heal,’ Burton said.
“The Sisters by Love House is connected to the SAFE Housing Network, which has provided housing to over 1,100 formerly incarcerated individuals since 2019. Quianya Enge [Leading with Conviction™ 2022], founder of Beyond the Walls, highlighted the home’s commitment to healing and community. ‘Every woman deserves to return home to a place that restores her dignity,’ Enge said. …
“Reentry housing remains crucial, as 2.5 million women face reentry barriers annually, with housing access being a key factor in preventing recidivism.”
