Find Critical Resources for re-entry
Coming Home Worcester and NE Regions is a directory of re-entry services available to ex-offenders returning to, or currently living in the Central Massachusetts and New England Regions. The directory presents important information for ex-offenders about the services available in these communities. Subsequently, this guide may also be useful for corrections practitioners, program staff, policy makers. Additionally, the friends, families, and volunteers that work with former offenders in the community may also find this resource directory to be useful.
After release, an ex-offender begins the difficult task of re-assimilating into the community. Typically, the ex-offender’s transition is very complicated, and may include significant obstacles that must be overcome to obtain stability. Fortunately, there exists a network of services designed to assist those in need. By compiling this directory, it is our hope that we will be able to assist former offenders, and those who care about them, find the resources they need to make the difference between success and a return to incarceration.
How to Use the Directory
The directory contains contact information and a basic description of the services offered for each organization. It includes other informational resources where possible. When in doubt, directly contact the organization for the best, most up-to-date information. The editors cannot and do not vouch for the accuracy or quality of the services available.
The agencies listed in this directory are not the only resources available. The publishers of this resource directory, Dismas House of Massachusetts, Inc. has tried to include all appropriate agencies and organizations. Regrettably, some information may be missing. Are we missing an agency? Do you have a correction to report? Please contact us.
