About Help For Felons
Help for felons is an organization that is devoted to helping felons return to the workforce, find housing and other needs by providing up to date and relevant information. We are always working to expand our database to include new information about jobs, training, loans/grants and job skills among other things.
Changing Lives
Many felons want to change their lives but often find that their past haunts them when it comes down to finding a job, housing or applying for a loan. We are here to try and break the barriers that felons face on the outside. The stigma attached to ex-felons is often unfounded and judgmental. Most felons seeking work are not hardened criminals, violent or habitual criminals.
Up to date information
There are almost no current/updated resources available for ex-felons. While most prison systems have programs for inmates to attend there are almost no transitional programs for felons outside of the walls. We hope that we can help fill this void for ex felons that are trying to get back on their feet.

In need of help, mostly for my fiance. He’s done a felony in his past when he was about 19 or so, and he’s about to turn 33 real soon. We’ve been looking for an apartment together in Hampton Roads (Southside) in Virginia for a little over a year with very little luck. Just about everyone is judging his past alone, regardless of how great he truly is deep down. He also wants a job (he’s a previous supervisor; though, his passion is landscaping), but is unable to find the opportunity to prove his worth. I’ve tried (and still am)… Read more »
