Impact of Reentry Services
Every day at the County of Santa Clara Reentry Resource Center, we see clients ready to make dramatic changes in their lives. However, having a felony record can be almost as restrictive as being incarcerated. Access to jobs, housing, and other opportunities becomes incredibly limited due to employment and housing restrictions and social stigma.
- Determination: Clients overcome challenges to achieve their goals.
- Education: Many are taking college credit classes.
- Employment: Working up from minimum wage jobs to management positions.
- Mentoring: Some are entering peer mentoring and counseling professions.
