Offering a restorative reentry experience.
Healing is intentional — and so are we. Assets Ascending wraps parents in circle-based peer support that meets them exactly where they are and walks with them toward a homecoming built on community and healing, not just release.
What we do: Advocacy, Housing & Healing
Tangible, community-rooted initiatives — each designed around what returning parents actually need.
-

Circle of Security Parenting
Healthy attachment between a parent and child doesn't happen by accident; it's built, one interaction at a time. Our Circle of Security Parenting program gives returning parents the tools to understand their child's emotional needs, repair ruptures in the relationship, and show up with confidence. Because the bond you build now shapes the family you become.
-

Parole Advocacy & Reentry Planning
The system that sent you home rarely hands you a roadmap. We help you build one. Our peer advocates assist incarcerated and returning individuals with parole packet preparation, case research, and reentry planning meeting you where you are, before and after release, so you walk out with more than just a release date.

Maternity Supportive Housing Residence
Matrescence Ascending: Resilience & Restoration is a maternity home for formerly incarcerated women who are pregnant or parenting and need a safe, stable place to land. More than housing, it's a healing environment — wraparound services, peer support, and a community of women who understand the road you've been on. Because every mother deserves to come home to something whole.

Feeding Freedom, Building Community
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Plants is a community gardening program rooted in something bigger than growing food. Participants learn to grow, preserve, and build income from the land — all while building connection with others who know what it means to start over. Free for anyone impacted by the legal system. Open to the whole community. Come grow with us.
