It Starts with Us: Bringing Financial Literacy and Other Reentry Resources to the Community
For our city to see a change in recidivism, I believe it starts with those who have changed their ways and are using their time to pour into the community.
PA 211 Helpline: An Under-Sourced “Resource” for Returning Citizens
One program that could be beneficial to returning citizens in Philadelphia is PA 211, a helpline sponsored by the United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey. PA 211 is a free, easy-to-remember phone number and website that connects Philadelphians with important resources in local communities, and is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
