Description
Fresh Out Community-Based Reentry Program helps underserved, overrepresented men and women transition from prison to the community. Their focus is on helping Black and African American populations transition from prison, back into society.
The Fresh Out Community-Based Reentry Program was formed in 2007 by a group of formerly incarcerated African-American individuals. They saw a need to help other formerly incarcerated individuals successfully reenter into the community, focusing on the African American population. They felt that ex-offenders would more readily engage in services when encouraged by former incarcerated persons who have successfully been down the same path.
The Program assists formerly incarcerated individuals with bus fare, food, clothing and mentoring in hopes to end the cycle of recidivism. Services and support provided includes: employment referrals, housing referrals, drug/alcohol referral, behavioral health referral, peer-to-peer counseling, family support services, access to public transportation, food boxes, clothing, and volunteer opportunities.
