Hananiah House is a non-denominational, faith-based nonprofit in Nashville, Tennessee, providing safe, stable transitional housing for women who have been incarcerated, typically for extended periods in maximum security facilities. Residents stay on average around 12 months and progress through a four-tier programme of coaching and training covering job skills, counselling, trauma recovery, financial and life skills, and community reintegration. The organisation operates several homes in East Nashville, including a step-up house for graduates to build rental and credit history. Founded in 2020 by Angela Wittenberg and Spring Barnickle, it is led by Executive Director Angela Wittenberg and Assistant Director Spring Barnickle. The organisation aims to build a sustainable model for post-incarceration housing and employment that could be replicated across Tennessee and the nation. Supporters can donate, volunteer to teach or mentor residents, or donate furniture and housewares.
