The U.S. Department of Justice (2021), over 50% of the people who are currently experiencing homelessness in the United States have been formerly incarcerated. Calling all social workers to advocate for those who are reentering & are faced with multiple barriers. Stop recidivism!
Visited Placita Olvera as I grew up calling it. El Pueblo de los Angeles and La Plaza de Cultura y Artes has so much history. Awesome learning about the true story of LA. #csudhMSW501
