Mayor Elicker Celebrates Opening of Reentry Welcome Center
Center is first in state offering one-stop services to justice system-involved individuals.
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Tomorrow, Thursday, February 4, at 1PM, Mayor Justin Elicker will join City and elected officials, state leaders, and a team of human services professionals serving ex-offenders to celebrate the opening of The Reentry Welcome Center, a one-stop drop-off and resource center for residents reentering the community post-incarceration or currently and previously justice system-involved.
Located at 830 Grand Street, the Reentry Welcome Center will be operated by Project MORE, a program providing a range of services to the ex-offender community. It will be operated with a combination of public and private funding and is part of a broader systemic solution to enhance reentry services coordination, service delivery, and pool resources.
The center will be the first in Connecticut to serve as a one-stop-shop for all justice-involved residents, including those on pre-trial release, under community supervision on probation or parole, and completing their sentences. Services will include, but not be limited to, behavioral health, workforce development, job development, family reunification, court-ordered services, benefits, and housing assistance.
