Each man & woman we serve will be well-connected to all of the Services they need to assure Reentry success. Where there are no parole or probation restrictions, we attempt to establish groups of former inmates within churches, who can support each other and model successful transition. Once we identify an inmate for our programs, we engage a Team of professionals to determine the specific needs of that individual. Career Development, Housing, Anger Management, Family Counseling, Substance Abuse Counseling, and the other 20 to 30 customized services for each Client is provided by a member of our Strategic Alliance. Each Volunteer is teamed with our Mentors to assure each Client has 24/7 support for them and their families.
We manage short-term funds for things like prescription drugs, work tools & clothing, and public transportation. We are also serving as advocates to help them get identification documents & driver's licenses.
We are asking the Faith-Based Community to survey their congregations for men & women able toVolunteer and/or employ our Clients and we're establishing alliances with businesses willing to hire former inmates, thus jobs would be waiting for them, rather than tossing men/women with felonies, resume-in-hand, into a hostile marketplace.
We mediate the relationships between the businesses and our members, acting as an advocate for them. We insist that the men & women establish good work habits, with sincere threats to remove them from our program, while persuading employers to exercise patience with men & women who may not yet have established good work habits and have problems with anger and selfishness.
