At The Becoming One Community, we believe in the power of second chances and the strength of a united community. We know that justice-involved individuals, once released, face immense challenges—fear of the unknown, the struggle to find employment, and the weight of a society that may not be ready to accept them back. These fears are real, and without support, they can lead to increased rates of unemployment, depression, and recidivism.
Our organization was born out of a deep personal understanding of this journey. As someone who has walked this path, our founder, James E. Davis Jr., recognized the urgent need for a program that goes beyond basic assistance. We see the whole person—a son, a daughter, a mother, a father—and we are dedicated to providing the comprehensive support they need to not only re-enter society but to become positive, empowered contributors.
Founded in Houston, Texas, and now with a new chapter in the New York City metropolitan area, The Becoming One Community is focused on creating a bridge between justice-involved individuals and the community. Our unique, holistic approach offers life-changing programs, including:
Career Readiness: Equipping participants with the skills and confidence to secure meaningful employment.
Mastering Money Management: Providing the tools to build financial stability and a secure future.
Fit Living: Promoting physical and mental well-being for a healthy, balanced life.
Knowing Your Rights: Empowering individuals with the knowledge they need to navigate the legal system and their new life.
Housing Empowerment: Connecting participants with safe and stable housing, a foundational step toward rebuilding.
But our work doesn’t stop with our participants. We are building a network of community partners—business owners, hiring managers, faith leaders, and passionate individuals—who are ready to welcome and support these men and women. By coming together, we can empower our participants to successfully reintegrate, enriching not just their lives, but the quality of life for everyone.
Join us in building a vision where everyone has a chance to thrive, and we truly become one community.
