Our mission

We see the person, not just the problem.

Our mission is to facilitate the recovery and reintegration of formerly incarcerated individuals through structured sober-living programs that promote personal responsibility, wellness, accountability, and social responsibility. By providing safe housing, mentorship, and access to essential resources. We work to reduce recidivism, improve quality of life, and foster a lasting sense of belonging within the community.

Rebuilding can feel overwhelming when housing, recovery, transportation, income, and paperwork all become urgent at once. The Bush House offers a welcoming place to pause, make a plan, and move forward with support.

Russell Bush

CEO | Co-founder

About the Founder – Russell Bush Russell Bush is the founder of The Bush House, a nonprofit organization committed to supporting incarcerated individuals, returning citizens, and the families who serve time alongside them through separation, hardship, and hope. Having experienced incarceration himself, Russell understands firsthand the challenges of rebuilding a life after prison. Rather than allowing his past to define him, he chose to let it become the foundation of his purpose. His mission is to help men and women successfully transition back into society by providing guidance, resources, mentorship, and opportunities that promote stability, accountability, and personal growth. Russell believes that every person deserves a second chance and that successful reentry requires more than freedom—it requires support, compassion, and a community willing to believe in people. Through The Bush House, he is dedicated to breaking the cycle of incarceration, strengthening families, and restoring hope one life at a time. The Bush House exists to remind every returning citizen that their past does not determine their future. With faith, determination, and the right support system, a new beginning is possible.
