Vita Nova

Richard Howell was released from Moose Lake Correctional in 2009.
He struggled to find a place to live with a felony background. This led to difficulty having a job, paying child support,
reuniting with family, and being successful in any other aspect of transitioning back to community. Richard didn't want
others to struggle like he did, so he started Vita Nova to provide housing to people with felony backgrounds. Vita Nova
purchased a triplex in 2023 and is providing transitional housing to its first residents.
