About

The implementation of the Coalition was in response to the lack of non-for-profit, faith based, and government agencies in which re-entry procedures were being practiced. Now, the Coalition consists of over 30 service providers who are at your disposal when needed. The Coalition also provides an opportunity for individual agencies to share resourses and service information, make referrals, and promote partnership. The services that are offered include employment services, legal sercives, residential services, and specialized services.

Employment Services - employment services are very important in the re-entry process. Canidates will go through classes to teach them pro-employment attutitudes and behaviors, as well as reciving valubale on-the-job training. The goal of these types of services is to ensure that the individuals will not only be ready to work, but they will know everything that they have to do to achive and maintain employment successfuly.

Legal Services - the need for legal services is growing. Many legal services are listed as a part of the coalition. The type of service can vary to your specific needs as there are various types of legal services offered; such as, representation and advice, family court representation, representation for people with developmental disabiities etc..

Residential Services - residential services are also offered as a part of our Coalition. These types of services include housing for men and woman being released from prison back into society, as well as housing for individuals struggling with drug addiction.

Specialized Services - specialized services provide a wealth of services to children, families, inmates, and women who are in dire need.
