A New Chapter for Criminal Justice Ministry
We are thrilled to announce that Criminal Justice Ministry has officially purchased a 20-unit apartment complex in North County, marking the first expansion of CJM into St. Louis County in our history!
This exciting new property creates more options for our clients and, most importantly, 20 additional opportunities for low-barrier, affordable housing for people impacted by the criminal justice system.
For CJM, housing is more than a roof over someone’s head. It is a foundation for stability, dignity, opportunity, and a second chance. Expanding into the County allows us to reach more people while giving our clients greater choice in where they build their next chapter.
We are deeply grateful to The Annual Catholic Appeal (Archdiocese of St. Louis) for their generous investment in this expansion, their belief in our mission, and their commitment to ensuring everyone has a safe, affordable place to call home. Their support helped make this new chapter possible.
We also extend our sincere appreciation to Timothy Burgess with Worth Clark Realty for facilitating this incredible transaction and helping bring this opportunity to life.
Twenty new doors. A new community. And countless possibilities for the people we serve.
This is what happens when a community believes in second chances.
