FRIENDS OF DISMAS INCORPORATED

Friends of Dismas Incorporated operates a residential recovery program in Markham that supports men rebuilding their lives after incarceration. The organization provides stable housing, life skills training, employment assistance, and counseling to help residents reintegrate into the community and maintain employment. The program focuses on breaking cycles of reoffending by offering structured support during the critical transition from prison to civilian life. Residents work toward self-sufficiency while developing healthy routines and relationships that sustain long-term recovery. By addressing the practical barriers faced by formerly incarcerated individuals in the GTA, Friends of Dismas helps create pathways to stable housing, employment, and social connection.
