September is here. 🍂

A new month doesn’t erase what came before it. But it can be another opportunity to keep moving forward.

At F5 Project, we see it every day: people rebuilding after incarceration, working toward recovery, finding stable housing, reconnecting with family, starting new jobs, and taking the next step—even when the road hasn’t been easy.

Progress doesn’t always look big.

Sometimes it’s showing up.
Sometimes it’s asking for help.
Sometimes it’s trying again.

Whatever the next step looks like, we believe people deserve the opportunity to take it.

Breaking Barriers. Building Futures. ❤️🖤

Life doesn’t always give you a clean slate.

Sometimes moving forward looks messy. It looks like starting over. Asking for help. Showing up when you don’t have it all figured out. Taking the next right step — and then doing it again tomorrow.

That’s where we come in.

We meet people where they’re at, without judgment and without pretending the road is easy. Because your past might be part of your story, but it doesn’t get to decide what happens next.

That’s Ugly Grace. ❤️🖤

Breaking Barriers. Building Futures.

Our Minot Team participated in the Point-in-Time Homeless Count event last week. Read more below.

Today, the Minot F5 team was in full force and out in the community participating in the Point-in-Time (PIT) Homeless Count here in Minot. ❤️

We are so thankful for opportunities like this to come together with other agencies and community partners to better understand the needs of our neighbors experiencing homelessness and connect people with resources.

A huge thank you to Christy with The Souris Valley United Way for putting this event together and bringing our community partners together!

There are so many great resources available today, including community showers, clothing, dinner, food, and resource connections, with the First District Health Unit here as well.

This is what community looks like—agencies coming together, meeting people where they are, and making sure no one feels forgotten. 💙

Progress doesn’t always look dramatic.

Sometimes it looks like showing up for an appointment.
Getting an ID.
Making it through another day in recovery.
Getting the keys to a safe place to live.
Rebuilding a relationship.
Starting a new job.
Asking for help instead of giving up.

At F5 Project, we know that moving forward can happen one small step at a time—and those steps matter.

We’re here for the messy middle. The setbacks. The second chances. The work it takes to build something different.

Because everyone deserves the opportunity to move forward.

Today is National Nonprofit Day — a day to recognize the organizations, staff, volunteers, partners, donors, and communities working every day to make a difference.

At F5 Project, that work looks like walking alongside people as they rebuild their lives.

It looks like helping someone find stable housing. Supporting recovery. Navigating reentry. Removing barriers to employment, transportation, healthcare, and opportunity. And sometimes, it simply looks like being there when someone needs to know they don’t have to figure out what comes next alone.

None of this work happens because of one person or one organization. It happens because communities choose to show up.

Today, we’re especially grateful for our incredible F5 Project team, our community partners, our supporters, and the people we have the privilege of serving.

There is still work to do — and we’re proud to keep moving forward together.

Dela! Happy 9!

Today our Regional Director DelaRae Hammargren celebrates 9 years clean!

“At one point in my addiction, I believed I was meant to live a life of using drugs, spend time incarcerated, and eventually die from the disease. I didn’t believe I was worth more.

Today I live a life that embodies serenity, genuine joy, integrity, and a passion for service. I now believe my past experiences using drugs & being in recovery is to support other women and pave a way for those still struggling.”

🩷

We are soo proud of you!!

2025 was a year of impact and growth.

Behind every number is a person who took another step toward stability, recovery, housing, and a future beyond the barriers they’ve faced.

In 2025, F5 Project provided safe and stable housing for 144 individuals who lived in our houses and served more than 1,400 individuals on direct services. We served our communities providing peer support, care coordination, housing, recovery resources, and connection when it mattered most.

We’re proud of what these numbers represent, but even more proud of the people behind them.

Our 2025 Annual Impact Report tells more of that story—where we’ve been, what we accomplished together, and where we’re headed next.

We're so thankful to walk alongside Jason (name changed) and are celebrating a huge milestone with him this week!

Read about Jason's story below from his Peer Support:

A year ago, Jason lost his housing while struggling with addiction. For the past year, he has been staying in a shelter while working toward recovery, stability, and a place to call home.

It hasn’t been an easy road.

Along the way, Jason has faced setbacks, housing barriers, and moments when moving forward felt incredibly difficult. But he kept showing up. He kept doing the work. And with support from his F5 Project care team, he kept taking the next step.

Today, one of those steps came with a set of keys. Jason signed the lease for his new home!

Those keys represent more than an address. They represent safety. Stability. Independence. And the opportunity to keep building the life he has been working toward.

At F5 Project, we believe people deserve support through the hard parts—not just celebration when they reach the other side. Recovery and reentry rarely happen in a straight line. Sometimes moving forward means taking one small step at a time, with people beside you who refuse to give up.

Today, we’re celebrating Jason and the work he has put in to reach this moment.

Welcome home, Jason. We’re proud to be walking alongside you.
