The TradeWorks Academy Campus
A 6-unit, 18-bedroom transitional housing property powering the reentry-to-career pipeline. 15 bedrooms for residents, 3 for staff — 30 men at a time.
People released from prison every year — most without housing, a job, or any support system.
Rearrested within 10 years. Housing instability is the #1 predictor of recidivism.
Annual taxpayer burden — incarceration, policing, courts — with zero return.
"The question isn't whether we can afford to solve this. It's whether we can afford not to."
Electricians, plumbers, welders, carpenters — retiring faster than replaced. $55K–$75K average wages. No degree required.
Capable, motivated men — an untapped labor pool America desperately needs but systematically excludes.
5410 NW 14th Avenue, Miami, FL — a brand-new 6-unit building. The physical infrastructure that makes the TradeWorks model possible.
