The Mission
The mission of the Reentry Coalition is to reduce recidivism, improve public safety and empower people.
The Initiative
The SOAR Re-Entry Program is carefully designed as a holistic approach to comprehensive treatment and services that meets the needs of people. Support, opportunity, advocacy and resilience are important in helping people.
After release from prison, many experience difficulty managing the most basic ingredients of successful reintegration—reconnecting with jobs, housing and their families, and accessing needed substance abuse and health care treatment. Most will be rearrested within three years, and many will be returned to prison for new crimes or parole violations.
The cycle of incarceration and reentry into society carries the potential for profound adverse consequences for all of us, but just as the potential costs are great, so too are the opportunities for interventions that could enhance the public safety, health and cohesion of the communities at the center of this cycle.
The Vision
We envision a broad-based community collaboration that empowers people with the tools they need to succeed.
