About The Lovelady Center
Situated in Birmingham, Alabama, The Lovelady Center is a nonprofit that empowers women to walk through life challenges with faith. This facility offers a 9 to 12 month residential program for a range of situations, including transitional housing during parole, diversion programs/alternative sentences, supervised reentry (SRP), and other challenges like addiction.
Turning the idea of a halfway house into a “wholeway house,” The Lovelady Center provides life skills training, spiritual guidance, shelter, clothing, food, and help to overcome poverty and incarceration through restoring hope and faith based initiatives.
Endorsed by the Mayor of Birmingham, state Governor, and local Sheriff’s Department, the Lovelady Center is a well established support to help women in Birmingham get back on their feet. They are accredited by the Association of Christian Ministries and a member of Citigate Network.
Residents are required to complete a minimum stay, progress through their five stage program, acquire credits including continuing education and/or GED, undergo counseling, obtain ID, participate in job readiness training, resolve any outstanding warrants or legal issues, and maintain sobriety throughout the program. Low cost and low barrier entry options are available.
