ONH Space Coast – Then and Now

Operation New Hope expanded to the Space Coast in August 2023 to address the need for reentry services in Brevard County, which has the 10th highest number of individuals returning from Florida state prisons. Through our Ready4Work program, returning citizens gain access to the tools, resources, and support needed to achieve self-sufficiency and reach their personal and professional goals — helping dramatically reduce recidivism in the communities we serve.

Previously, due to space limitations and growing client demand, our team operated across two adjacent buildings. As of mid-September, we are now fully open and operating under one roof at our new location. This larger, more accessible space allows us to deliver wraparound reentry services in a more unified environment, featuring an expanded career development classroom, technology lab, and improved visibility for both clients and the public.

By providing comprehensive training, counseling, housing support, and a strong network of community partnerships, Operation New Hope helps individuals not just return, but truly restart — building stronger families and safer communities throughout Brevard County.
