Project Description: |

|
|
|
|
||
The Community Re-Entry Program (CRP) serves offenders newly released from prison, on probation, and in community corrections programs. CRP provides and coordinates services so that clients can become socially and economically productive members of their families and their communities, thereby avoiding returning to prison. Program staff includes Case Managers, Job Developers, Education Specialists, a Legal Advisor, and Support Group Facilitators. Each Client is assigned to a Case manager, who conducts a comprehensive needs assessment, coordinates the provision of services and monitors the client's progress. Services offered on-site include: job readiness training; career guidance; educational/vocational placements; job referrals and placements; a legal clinic; a clothing bank; financial planning assistance; support groups; transportation assistance (bus passes). Outside referrals are made for treatment of medical, dental, psychological and substance abuse problems, as well as housing. |
