“There’s no room in the shelters. Transitional housing is filled. Everywhere they give you the list of housing, but none of it is actually attainable because of the rent situation." https://t.co/EgJTcvwUkF

John Howard Society's salute to the Federal Framework to Reduce Recidivism #FFRR today looks at the positive social networks pillar. Hats off to all the supportive families and communities whose efforts reduce repeat crime. #JHSW24

[John Howard Society @JohnHoward_Can]

Post-custody employment is key factor in reducing repeat crime. John Howard Society today focuses on employment as a pillar of successful reintegration. Includes job skills while incarcerated + reducing barriers in communities: #FFRR #JHSW24

[John Howard Society @JohnHoward_Can]

Welcome to day 2 of John Howard Society Week in which we salute the 'housing' pillar of the #FFRR. Releasing people from prison into homelessness does not make communities safer. Homeless people have higher rates of criminal justice system involvement. 1/2 https://t.co/oblSvSfnx5

Today's focus of JHS Week is on the education pillar of the Federal Framework to Reduce Recidivism. Interesting reduction in further crime associated with advancing education. Join us to learn more
