The purpose behind the vision
We believe a past should never define a future.
Do Hard Things was born from a promise to help people rebuild after incarceration. That promise has grown into a carefully developed vision for stronger lives and a more connected community.
Our work begins with reentry. Our future brings housing, opportunity, education, wellness, and community partners together to help people move forward.

A Campus Designed for Connection
The proposed Summit County campus would bring housing, nonprofit services, learning, wellness, and community spaces together in one connected place.
At the center is the Mall of Dreams: a welcoming destination where nonprofit organizations could share resources, offer services, and connect with families and neighbors. Around it, the proposed campus includes a substantial housing village, classrooms, recreation, gardens, wellness spaces, community gathering places, and a future equestrian center.
The Transitional Housing Village is one of the most important parts of this vision. It is planned as much more than a few homes: a substantial reentry residence, apartment buildings, family and recovery housing, and shared amenities designed to support a gradual journey toward independence.
Our work begins with reentry, but the campus is envisioned for the broader community, too. Every part of the plan is meant to connect—so that hope can become stability, stability can become opportunity, and opportunity can create lasting change.

Jail to Possibility · Our Reentry Vision
A Second Chance Begins Before Release.
Every person has a story, strengths, challenges, and the potential for a different future.
Our vision begins inside the jail with a comprehensive Life Roadmap Assessment—a structured test designed with qualified specialists to help participants discover their strengths, identify their needs, and develop a personalized path forward.
With guidance from a Do Hard Things Angel, participants would be connected to existing community organizations offering employment, education, healthcare, recovery services, safe housing, and meaningful opportunities to volunteer.
Connect
Angels help participants navigate appropriate community resources and existing services.
Thrive
A living roadmap supports progress toward stability, opportunity, and purpose.
The jail-entry assessment and Angel support model are part of our planned program, to be developed with qualified professionals and community partners.
Transitional Housing Village · Future Campus Vision
A Second Chance Needs Somewhere to Begin.
Leaving jail is the beginning of a new journey. A stable place to live can make the difference between starting over and moving forward.
Our proposed village begins with reentry housing and grows into a connected community of recovery, family, survivor, pet-friendly, and step-up housing—with practical support for employment, wellness, and independence.

The promise behind the mission
The Promise That Started It All.
I made a promise in jail that I would help those women. Back then, I didn't know how. I've spent years figuring it out.
What began as a commitment to help people rebuild after incarceration has grown into a vision shaped by years of listening, learning, and bringing people together.
The buildings may take years. Changing lives doesn't have to.
