Nick, a beacon of second chances, shares the expansion of the organization and its profound impact on individuals transitioning from incarceration back into the community. With Returning Home's new facility in Huntsville, Nick is at the forefront of combating recidivism and fostering a culture of support and growth for those seeking a fresh start.
