The New Start program will provide individualized, comprehensive, community-based, re-entry services for adults who are rejoining the community after a period of incarceration. The primary goal of this program will be to assist individuals in successfully reintegrating into the community life following incarceration.

The program will establish a trusting, supportive, collaborative relationship with each participant to reduce recidivism (both short and long term), reduce homelessness, eliminate hospitalizations or restrictive care, help maintain housing and active community integration while reducing or eliminating further encounters with law enforcement. Staff will work with clients on obtaining appropriate mental health services, connection to community resources, assistance with obtaining employment and permanent housing.
