On average, there are over 12,000 individuals released from prison and re-entering the communities they left behind. Family ReEntry is committed to empowering these individuals, and their families, to successfully re-enter their communities by providing various programs that help them find employment, housing, and access to substance abuse and behavioral health services. Based on their experience delivering successful re-entry services this grant allows them to leverage what they have learned in their solutions-oriented practices and advocate on why these approaches should be replicated across Connecticut’s adult and juvenile justice systems via the variety of statewide working groups that are addressing recidivism, family violence and alternatives to incarceration.
