Moving Forward

Starting over isn’t easy. Whether you’re coming home after incarceration, supporting a loved one, or looking to give someone a second chance, the challenges can feel overwhelming.

The truth is, the world doesn’t always make room for those trying to rebuild. The road back is filled with barriers. Finding work, securing housing, reconnecting with family, and overcoming the stigma that follows a conviction can feel impossible at times. But no matter where you are in the process, you are not alone.

This section is here to help.

Below, you’ll find practical resources for different challenges:

• If you’re reentering society, there’s guidance on jobs, housing, and legal rights.
• If you’re a family member, we have support for navigating the emotional and financial struggles that come with incarceration.
• If you’re an employer, there’s information on hiring formerly incarcerated workers and the benefits of second-chance employment.
• If you need legal or emergency help, we’ve included links to organizations that provide assistance.

A past mistake doesn’t erase your future. You have the right to rebuild, to be seen, and to move forward.
