Description
The Community Partners Reinvestment Project (CPR) is a collaborative transition program that seeks to meet the developmental and transitional needs of men ages 18 to
25 returning to the community after incarceration. CPR’s programming includes client- motivated behavioral changes, reducing criminal thinking, returning to school, employment, housing, family relations and parenting issues, assistance with resources, and more. CPR’s mentors have first-hand experience with many of the challenges faced by CPR participants and they can relate to and provide insight to clients as well as serve as positive role models.
GIFT (Gang Impacted Family Team) and HEAT (Habilitation, Empowerment, Accountability, Therapy) are programs under CPR that work with the Portland gang community, including affected family members. GIFT/HEAT are culturally-specific and these programs work to educate young men to address how the choices they make impact not just themselves, but their families and their communities.
