When folks transition out of prison, there are many obstacles ahead--finding a job, securing housing, conquering stigma, and so much more. For the past 13 years, The Here to Help Foundation has provided direct support to Detroit area residents facing emergencies. In this episode, we focus mainly on their newest initiative “Returning Hope to Returning Citizens,” which offers a wide range of support services to folks as they return from prison into the community.
