The Market
The Comfort Zone has identified two major market segments:
Substance Abuse: Women with histories of addiction and incarceration often need stable housing and support systems.
Mental Health: Unprocessed trauma and mental health issues can lead to incarceration and homelessness. We address these root causes by providing structured support.
Identifying the Need
Research shows that the majority of incarcerated women have histories of substance abuse and mental illness. Trauma often drives these behaviors, leading to criminal activity and incarceration.

The Comfort Zone, Inc. offers a safe, stable environment to help women rebuild their lives and transition back into society.
