Safe Landing
Safe, accountable housing and daily structure before crisis deepens or after release.
Breaking cycles. Building futures.
A Way Home.
SixMiles is building a place in Six Nations where Indigenous men can find stability, meaningful work, cultural connection, and a real path home.
The cycle does not begin or end in a courtroom.
It grows when people return to unstable housing, isolation, unemployment, unresolved trauma, and systems that rarely work together.
The challenge
The Cycle.
Before crisis and after release, too many Indigenous men face the same barriers: no safe place to live, no daily structure, no meaningful work, and no practical bridge back to family and community.
Without those foundations, short-term intervention rarely becomes lasting change.
The initiative
SixMiles.
SixMiles brings housing, work, healing, culture, and accountability together in one community-rooted setting. It is designed to support people before crisis deepens and after they are ready to return.
The aim is simple: replace a cycle of instability with the conditions for a safer, stronger life.

Founder & Executive Director
Miles' Story.
Miles General's path runs from national-championship lacrosse and community coaching, through incarceration and recovery, into Indigenous justice work, mentorship, employment creation, and SixMiles.
That experience shaped a practical belief: lasting change needs a place, a routine, meaningful work, cultural grounding, and people who remain involved.

The impact
What Changes.
When the right supports exist in one place, people have a stronger chance to rebuild their lives and return to community with stability and purpose.
Stable Returns
A safe place, daily structure, and a practical plan reduce the chance that people return to the same crisis.
Meaningful Work
Training, employment, and responsibility create income, confidence, and a reason to keep moving forward.
Stronger Community
Culture, family, accountability, and local support make reintegration a shared community effort.
