Transitional Supports for Re-Entry Program Overview

The document is a guide detailing the Clare of Assisi House Transitional Housing program, which offers 12-18 months of gender-specific, evidence-based, and trauma-informed support to female ex-offenders. The program aims to empower these individuals by providing essential services that help them stabilize their lives, learn necessary skills, and change behaviors to prevent recidivism. Since its inception in 2017, Clare House has assisted 46 women in their transition back into the community. The TSRE Program, funded by PHARE, consists of three interconnected phases: initial support for basic needs, followed by independence and goal setting, and finally, ongoing support for graduates. The document outlines the specific objectives of the TSRE Program, which include enhancing self-esteem, fostering healthy relationships, and providing the necessary skills for sustainable independent living. It emphasizes the importance of addressing the unique challenges faced by female ex-offenders, including barriers to employment and housing, and the need for comprehensive support systems to facilitate their reintegration into society.
