Workforce Development Centers
Government-sponsored centers as well as other independent agencies aid in job searches, skill development, and resume building.
Legal Aid Services

Substance Abuse Programs
Many rehab centers and support groups focus on addiction recovery, a crucial aspect of re-entry.
Housing Authorities
Public housing agencies help formerly incarcerated individuals secure stable housing.
Community and Faith-Based Groups
Local churches and community centers often provide emotional support, counseling, and community reintegration programs.
