Our Mission: Rebuilding With Compassion and Opportunity
Second Chance Families Project empowers parents in recovery by offering transitional housing, case management, transportation, and job-readiness stability and family reunification. We know every parent deserves pathways—not punishment—and that healing and reunification are possible with the right resources and community support. Our mission is to ensure families overcome barriers and thrive together, restoring hope and dignity across Virginia.
DonateAbout Second Chance Families Project
Second Chance Families Project (SCFP) is a Virginia-based nonprofit founded by Kirsten Jay, whose own journey of recovery and navigating the child welfare system fuels our mission. We are committed to rebuilding and reunifying families affected by addiction, homelessness, and systemic obstacles—ensuring no parent fights alone for stability or the right to be with their children.
Our core belief is that addiction recovery and family reunification go hand in hand. Every parent in recovery deserves resources, dignity, and unwavering support. Through transitional housing, case management, transportation, and workforce readiness programs, we help families build a solid foundation and a brighter future together.
