This program is designed to assist offenders in preparing for and
accomplishing a successful return to the community. Operating statewide,
the Resettlement Program has developed liaisons with service providers
in the community and is able to provide on-going assistance in locating
and accessing resources responsive to the needs, including food,
shelter, clothing, education, medical services, as well as emotional
support and encouragement. Staff begin working with clients while
they are incarcerated so that support systems are in place upon release.
Clients request admission to the program through their institutional
counselor. (1992)
The Resettlement Program has added a new piece to their programming, The Doris House, which opened in August 1, 2005. This house provides temporary safe, supportive and stable transitional housing for three female program participants. The eligibility requirements are:
