Beyond Reentry Council (BRC) has diligently researched the most important urgent issues facing returning citizens (Fomerly Incarcerated).  We have learned that people returning home to Florida from prison and jail cite their greatest need as being the need to find employment and housing.

 

BRC will aim to develop ideas to incentivize employers to hire, and better align job training offered to returning citizens with growing sectors of employment in Palm Beach County.

 

The reentry experience can be a transformative one; we believe when men/women who are at pivotal crossroads in their lives and are surrounded by positive people and influences, subsequently leads to productive decisions being made. Thus, allowing for them to focus on rebuilding their lives with their families.
