4.8 Preventing Recidivism and Homelessness: Housing Strategies for Ex-Offenders
One of the challenges communities face is preventing homelessness for ex-offenders and reintegrating them into their communities. It is estimated that four in ten offenders return to prison within three years of their release. Presenters in this workshop will highlight evidence-informed programs offering reentry and diversionary services. Special consideration will be given to coordination between corrections systems and homeless systems of care.
