On April 29, 2026, the Georgia Department of Community Supervision will host a Resource Fair from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at its Covington office, offering essential services and support for individuals navigating reentry. Covenant Community supports initiatives like this that connect individuals to critical resources, helping them move forward with stability, purpose, and long-term success.

The Second Annual Second Chance Summit ATL will take place from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at 601 Thomas Cole Jr Way, SW, bringing together resources such as digital literacy, legal aid, and reentry support services. Covenant Community is proud to support efforts like this that create access, opportunity, and meaningful pathways for individuals returning to society to rebuild their lives with confidence and stability

The Georgia Department of Community Supervision (DCS) plays a key role in this mission by equipping individuals under supervision with the tools necessary for a successful transition. At Covenant Community, we proudly support this effort by providing long-term recovery support, stable housing, and pathways to purposeful employment, helping individuals build a foundation for lasting change and successful reintegration into society.

Governor Brian P. Kemp has issued a proclamation declaring April as Second Chance Month in the state, reaffirming Georgia's commitment to public safety, accountability, and opportunities for individuals to transition successfully back into their communities.

Second Chance Month recognizes the importance of helping individuals, communities, and agencies across the country appreciate their role in supporting the safe and successful reentry of millions of people returning from incarceration each year. Second Chance Month aims to inform and highlight the many opportunities for state, local, and tribal governments and community-based service providers to build meaningful second chances for our returning community members.

The impact Covenant Community makes isn't just on the men we serve – it also ripples out to the wider community.

Just ask Horace, who has been in recovery since 2022. Horace credits his transformation to Covenant Community, saying “Covenant Community [is] where I found hope, strength, and everything that I needed. Covenant really changed my life.”

Now, Horace has transformed from someone needing help to someone giving help in his role as a Residential Peer Specialist with Covenant Community. Says Horace, “Being a Man of Hope is something great for me. It feels good to be able to give back what was graciously given to me. I love the fact that I can just sit down and listen to one of the residents and help them and guide them through the struggles of the day.”

We hope you are inspired to help those who are suffering from addiction too. It is not too late to help – will you donate to Covenant Community today? https://givebutter.com/recovery-village

When Derenzo entered Covenant Community’s doors, though the future seemed uncertain, he was inspired by the staff at Covenant, some of whom used to be residents themselves. They were clear examples of the progression someone could make at Covenant, and he took this lesson to heart.

Covenant gave Derenzo the tools to not only sustain his recovery but also to try to become the best version of himself. Says Derenzo, “Covenant gave me an opportunity to really sit down with myself and begin the healing process...and address a lot of issues that I was dealing with at the current time.” He learned how to analyze and gain a better understanding of himself, saying, “Covenant gave me an opportunity to really see myself for who I wanted to be, not who the world wanted me to be."

Now, Derenzo stands as an example to others of what they can achieve within Covenant’s walls. He is sustaining his recovery, practicing “progressional perfection,” and “loving [his] growth as a person” – and he acknowledges all of this “wouldn’t have come about if it wasn’t for Covenant.”

We are hopeful more men suffering from substance use disorder can embark on the same journey of healing and growth, but we can’t do it without you. Will you help us raise $50,000 by the end of 2025 by giving today? https://givebutter.com/recovery-village
