Reentry & Reintegration

Sessions Supported By Donations

Reentry & Life Rebuilding Coming home from incarceration is hard. We'll help you do it right. The system took years or decades. You're back now, but "back" is harder than it sounds. You've changed. The world has changed. You need ID, a job, a place to live—and every door asks about your record. You're not a criminal. You're someone rebuilding. And we're here to help you do it. Coming Home: The First Steps Housing first – You need a place. We know landlords who work with formerly incarcerated people. We help with applications and references. ID & documents – Birth certificate, state ID, whatever you need. We help navigate the paperwork. Benefits & support – CalFresh, Medi-Cal, housing assistance. You likely qualify. Let's get it. Meeting parole/probation – We help you understand your conditions and stay compliant. Learning to Live on the Outside Again Life skills – The world has changed. Technology, jobs, social norms. We help you navigate it. Managing the adjustment – Culture shock is real. You're relearning how to exist in freedom. Building daily structure – Purpose, routine, and reasons to get up in the morning. Reconnecting with family – If that's safe and possible. Rebuilding trust takes time. Processing trauma – Prison changes you. We help you work through what happened. Building Strength Beyond Survival From survival to thriving – You survived. Now let's build something real. Reclaiming your identity – You're more than your record. Let's figure out who you are now. Addressing shame – The system tries to make you feel worthless. You're not. Building resilience – You've survived the worst. You have strength. Let's use it. Why This Matters The recidivism rate is high because reentry is hard and unsupported. We're changing that. People who have real support don't go back. Your record doesn't define your future. Your choices do. And we're here to help you make the ones that matter.
