KPEP began in the fall of 1980 to provide a live-in residence for those individuals who need more structure than regular probation provides, but where extended jail time is not judged necessary. The goal of KPEP is to show the residents that they can become independent, contributing members of the community.

The organization works closely with all aspects of the criminal justice system, including local law enforcement departments, corrections and probation departments, and various circuit court judges.

There is much support from the KPEP Board, neighborhood associations, non-profit organizations and the various businesses in the communities who have hired KPEP residents as employees, giving the residents a chance to prove their worth.
