Housing & Reentry Webinar October 27, 2010
Posted by FairSentencing in : Current News , trackbackThis free webinar will cover promising and replicable practices and program models for creating housing opportunities that support successful reentry for people returning from jails or prisons. Housing is a foundation for successful community reintegration. Without a stable place to live, it is nearly impossible for newly released individuals to positively reconnect to a community or get a job. With a better understanding of housing needs and options, and strong partnerships, housing can be a more successful and effective part of reentry strategies.
