Most justice-involved citizens will return to a community very different from the one they left, but VSC is there to prepare them to rejoin the world — facilitating communication with families, attorneys, and therapists while they are incarcerated and, after release, connecting them to critical programs and services. And the needs are great: job training, mental health support from felon-friendly organizations, substance use disorder and chronic disease treatment and, of course, secure housing to facilitate a smooth transition. After release, the Welcome Home Center offers a continuum of reentry support to secure transportation and housing assistance, toiletries, and a snack, or get funds to secure a birth certificate. Maintaining family ties and creating positive relationships with the community means justice-involved citizens are better prepared for their release into the world we all share — to raise their children, to work, to live.
