Jail & Prison Reentry Services
-
JAIL & PRISON REENTRY SERVICESIndividuals released from jail or prison often return to their
communities with no employment, home, or support
system and often struggle to overcome the social and
psychological challenges of incarceration.
Our program assesses a participant's individual strengths and provides
case management to secure basic needs, navigate resources
and develop a plan to increase their self-sufficiency.
Catholic Charities helps anyone in need, regardless of faith or background.
Clients do not need to be Catholic to receive our services. -
