Support for Returning Citizens

CHRIS 180’s Reentry programs works with local jails to assist individuals currently incarcerated with pre-release and post-release counseling and linkage to resources/services in the community. Our goal is to help with stabilization and reduce recidivism.  Reentry services provide opportunities for those involved with the criminal justice system at a young age to achieve a positive change in their lives and communities.

Pre-Release Services: Successful transition into the community starts prior to release.  During incarceration the individual has access to a therapist and/or care coordinator to identify barriers to address in a plan to increase success returning to their community.

Post-Release Services: Staff provide hands-on assistance to individuals with high needs upon returning to the community.  Services may include but are not limited to: transportation support, case management, ongoing counseling, insurance linkage, housing assistance, emergency assistance, employment assistance, education assistance, etc.
