SUCCESSFUL REENTRYS
We target the specific needs of the returning citizen at each stage of our re-entry development cycle. From crisis and stabilization to long term self-sufficiency and independence.
​
Phase 1, Getting Started
We will help you deal with your most urgent needs after release, such as immediate access to housing, food and clothing, identification, transportation, phone, community resources, and handling any legal requirements, or medical matters. Importantly, you will have an address and a place to call home
Phase 2, Transition and Employment
In Phase 2, most new residents are employed and have begun reintegrating into the community (ie, shopping, going to appointments, and other activities). The new resident will be assigned a mentoring and accountability group to provide development support.
Phase 3, Transformation and Success
Transformational change requires consistency with the skills, mindset, and behavior necessary for successful reintegration. At this stage your life is beginning to show true signs of success. You may begin to consider your options such as whether or not to begin to transition to more permanent housing outside of the program! There is no deadline for leaving the program.
