Who we are

At New Beginnings with Lee, LLC, we believe everyone deserves a second chance — a place to heal, rebuild, and find stability again.
Based in Houston, Texas, our transitional housing program provides safe, supportive living for individuals who are re-entering society — including veterans, the homeless, and returning citizens.

What began as a small vision of compassion has grown into a mission to restore hope and rebuild lives.
Our founder, Toni Denise Bowden, created New Beginnings with Lee after witnessing the struggles of people trying to start over without the right support.
Here, we offer more than housing — we offer connection, guidance, and the belief that change is possible

.Our Mission

Our mission is to provide a safe, structured, and supportive home environment that empowers individuals to rebuild their lives, regain independence, and become productive members of society.

Our Vision

We envision a Houston where every person, regardless of their past, has access to safe housing, meaningful support, and the opportunity to build a brighter future.

Our Core Values

Compassion: Meeting people where they are, without judgment.

  1. Dignity: Every person deserves respect and the right to a fresh start.

  2. Community: Together, we lift one another toward stability and hope.

  3. Empowerment: We help residents build the tools for long-term success.

“New Beginnings with Lee isn’t just a home — it’s a family. We believe in giving people the support and structure they need to rise again. Every life deserves a second chance, and here, we make that possible.”
