In 2010 Jesus Our Boss, Inc. was founded to help men enrolled in reentry/rehabilitation programs in El Dorado County, California. We noticed that many programs existed to help individuals gain sobriety, provide transitional housing, or in-patient mental health, but it was virtually impossible for us to find a program that provided a holistic approach.
The need for a highly individualized approach to reentry programming was evident. JOB set out to help individuals transition into "normal" society by helping them gain employment, financial stability, maintained sobriety, individual and family health, and spirituality. To date JOB's programs have helped dozens of individuals.
In 2015 we opened the first JOB reentry home for men. The home became the JOB LIFE House in July of 2019. The LIFE House is the result of five years of cultivating a program based on research, input from the California Department of Corrections, and experience working with men reentering society. It has become a special place for rehabilitated men to receive the services and support they need to become valuable members of society.
Today JOB is focused on sharing what we've learned with others. We've learned that long term support is lacking for graduates of reentry programs. And mental health services and educational resources are an absolute necessity for long term success.
We provide mental health services through our JOB Life Coach team. The team consists of licensed therapists and social workers with experience in addictions, childhood issues, anxiety/depression, and trauma. And we provide free access to educational resources and materials that enable individuals and non profits to navigate these areas.
