Never Give Up (NGU) Transitional Living is an Omaha, Nebraska program operated by Good Turn Labor, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. It provides an 84-day structured transitional housing program for men leaving prison who are approved for community supervision or parole and meet program requirements. NGU aims to reduce recidivism and support successful community reintegration through accountability, stable housing, and practical resources.

Participants receive 24/7 supervision and support, with programming focused on recovery, employment, personal development, and rebuilding relationships. Services include evidence-based group therapy, intensive outpatient treatment, individual counseling, and peer support through Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. The program also offers financial literacy classes, job placement and workforce development assistance, and help obtaining essential documents and benefits. Housing support includes basic needs such as initial clothing, transportation, and cellphones. Organized outings, volunteer opportunities, and family visitation help participants strengthen community and family connections.

NGU emphasizes lived experience, research-informed methods, and the belief that people can build stable, productive lives.
