Resettlement
Resettlement Program provides comprehensive reentry (pre/post) case management and basic needs support services to approximately (75) individuals annually. The program is based on the premise that all women and men involved in the criminal justice system have strengths and resources that can be mobilized to address and overcome challenges. The program acts as a bridge connecting individuals to community based agencies that are instrumental in securing appropriate housing, treatment (substance abuse & mental health), reunifications, employment, education, food, clothing, and other life necessities.
The goal of the program Mart’s House, is to provide safe, supportive, stable sober housing for female participants as they transition from a prison/shelter to their own apartment.
“Today marks 2 years, I have been compliant with parole, I have a bank account, a learner’s permit and soon a license, almost no debt, two jobs, money, no drug habit, a roof over my head, food in my stomach, and most importantly, my freedom.”
— Stacy B, Resettlement Participant
