Transportation Services

It is important to highlight the importance of transportation in the lives of those struggling with recent incarceration and homelessness. The lack of reliable, timely, and safe transportation leaves an enormous gap in the aid needed by individuals working to rebuild their lives. Transition from homelessness requires connection to different resources for mental/physical health, legal documents, job interviews and various appointments often miles apart. For those released from incarceration it is a snowball effect when someone needs to reach numerous appointments within the first weeks of their release including finding employment. Expecting someone with highly limited resources leads many to retract to old people/places to even stay current with work and appointments. This reflects the importance of being able to provide seamless transitions through transportation, and how this key element aids in filling the gap among service providers.
