Seems to be an advertisement, uncertain notability Gwen Gale 02:05, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete. Blatant advertising.  Citi Cat   ♫ 04:50, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - I'm a little unclear how an article on a halfway house qualifies as an advertisement (although I suppose there could be some seriously Wiki-savvy prisoners out there), but I believe a federally-subsidized outreach organization operating in several states throughout the south qualifies under WP:N, although there may be some problems under WP:V given the lack of detail about how exactly the organization operates. A little Googling turned up a handful of stories, but they're little more than passing references .  Rather than delete, I would suggest that this article be pared back to include only verifiable information. --jonny-mt(t)(c) 05:52, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Most of those fleeting references are in online court or bureaucratic docs, two are in local newspaper articles about other topics. I don't see any evidence at all of encyclopedic content. There are lots of these halfway houses in North America and Europe. Government subsidization doesn't confer any notability at all, governments print checks for all kinds of nn stuff. Either way, this article as written is an advertisement (for government grants and contracts, an attempt to build notability through Wikipedia) and the verifiable information would be no more than a stub.

 * Delete It's a halfway house... or rather, a few halfway houses. Unless there's some substantial notability that isn't in the article, I don't see how this could be brought up to standard.  And the current text is far too advert-like for an encyclopedia anyway. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  13:41, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Per above Carter | Talk to me 15:58, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete as both G11 and A7, now that I've looked into this even more. Gwen Gale 16:39, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as the links provided (and most ghits) don't prove notability. SkierRMH 00:24, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
