About Somewhere New Foundation
Somewhere New Foundation arose from what was missing in our communities: accessible, compassionate support for survivors and those reentering society. Founded by artist and advocate Ashley Dubose in Longville, Louisiana, we serve the vast rural corridor of Beauregard, Calcasieu, and Cameron Parishes—places where the nearest help can be hours away, not blocks.
We believe everyone deserves safety, dignity, and a chance at new beginnings. Our foundation bridges the gap for individuals in crisis, connecting them to vital resources, safe havens, and guidance as they rebuild their lives. Committed to hope and healing, we are a beacon in the rural South.
