Learning valuable skills to gain employment after re-entry for ex-offenders can help create a fulfilling life for returning prisoners.
As part of the Lutheran Social Services of Illinois and a statewide program, Reentry Services for Returning Citizens helps ex-prisoners become self-reliant as well as helping improve the local community.
Lutheran Social Services of Illinois collaborates with the Illinois Department of Corrections, Habitat for Humanity and other non-profit organizations to help build housing components for low-income families utilizing prison inmates. Since 1995, over 6,000 inmates at 23 federal, state and county correctional facilities in the state of Illinois have helped build components for over 700 homes, all the while building valuable and usable employable skills.
