DIFFERENTIATION

Exodus Amsterdam provides aftercare to former people in detention and people in the final phase of their sentence. It is a mixed-gender facility for adults.

The facility uses the “Your Power” methodology, which focuses on residents’ strengths in five areas: work, housing, finances, relationships and meaning. Residents manage their own schedules, but must participate in organized activities and work/education at least 26 hours a week. The program includes finding suitable work, shared living responsibilities, financial assistance, relationship building and identifying leisure activities, which promotes comprehensive personal development and social reintegration.

COMMUNITY-INTEGRATION

Exodus Amsterdam is located in the center of Amsterdam. The Exodus house is housed in an old school building, located on a busy street between several stores and houses. Within walking distance are several nearby parks and public transportation stops. There are no concrete collaborations with organisations in the area to promote community integration because interaction with the community is natural. Residents are expected to work, do voluntary work or do other activities outside the facility. Because of this, there is constant interaction with the community and residents can constantly leave the property for this.
