This document serves as a formal Partnership Agreement between The Comeback Initiative Network LLC and Ministry of Compassion. Under this agreement, M.J. Evans will take up residence at 5904 Bolling Avenue, effective June 12, 2026, through December 12, 2026 (six months), and serve as Program Architect & Executive Director for both transitional housing locations, with full operational authority to build, run, and grow these facilities into legitimate, functioning transitional housing programs.
The current operational landscape for Ministry of Compassion presents both a significant challenge and an equally significant opportunity. The challenge is real and must be addressed directly. The opportunity, if properly developed, has the potential to transform both properties into self-sustaining, mission-centered assets.
M.J. Evans is not a consultant who learned about reentry from a textbook. He lived it β more than two decades incarcerated, a successful reentry journey, and then a relentless commitment to building systems so others would not have to walk that road without support.
The following represents the core value delivered by The Comeback Initiative Network LLC to Ministry of Compassion through this partnership engagement.
TCBIN brings a comprehensive ecosystem of professional resources, strategic relationships, and operational tools directly to this engagement.
The proposed operational structure maintains absolute clarity around authority, ownership, and operational control. Ministry of Compassion retains full property ownership. M.J. Evans holds full operational and programmatic authority as Program Executive Director.
The initial 90-day phase is structured as an intensive assessment, relationship-building, and system-development period. Both locations will be brought to operational standards and run as a real transitional facility during this phase.
M.J. Evans will take up full residence at 5904 Bolling Avenue, effective June 12, 2026 through December 12, 2026, for the six-month term of this agreement. Under this agreement, the following expenses are fully covered by Ministry of Compassion and are not the responsibility of M.J. Evans:
Any and all repairs, improvements, additions, or new materials required to maintain or upgrade either property are the sole financial responsibility of Ministry of Compassion. All quotes and estimates for repair work, construction, additions, or new materials must be submitted to and approved by Ministry of Compassion, and all associated costs shall be covered by Ministry of Compassion. M.J. Evans shall have no financial obligation whatsoever toward any repair, addition, or maintenance expense at either location. If a repair is needed and Ministry of Compassion does not act within a reasonable timeframe, M.J. Evans reserves the right to facilitate the repair and present the invoice to Ministry of Compassion for full reimbursement.
The property owner shall not be expected or required to pay M.J. Evans any monetary compensation during the initial six-month term of this agreement. The consideration provided β full residency at 5904 Bolling Drive with all bills, utilities, and household expenses covered (food excluded) β constitutes the full compensation for this period. M.J. Evans agrees to this structure in good faith and in recognition of the financial pressures currently carried by the organization.
Upon execution of this agreement, the following actions will be initiated immediately on Day One.
Transitional housing has been the missing piece in the reentry ecosystem I have been building throughout Central Florida. Every program, every institutional relationship, every employer partnership, and every community connection I have developed over the past several years leads directly to the need for stable, supportive housing. Ministry of Compassion holds that piece.
