Come Out, Stay Out believes successful reentry takes a strong network of people, organizations, businesses and community partners working together. No one organization can meet every need alone, but together we can help returning citizens rebuild their lives, restore their families and strengthen their communities.
Partnerships help us connect individuals with the resources, opportunities and support they need to move forward with confidence. From employment and housing to mentorship, transportation, education and family support, our partners play an important role in helping participants come out, stay out and move forward.
Why Partnership Matters
Many returning citizens face major barriers after incarceration. They may need help finding work, securing stable housing, reconnecting with family, continuing their education or accessing reliable transportation. Without support, these challenges can make reentry more difficult.
Through strong partnerships, Come Out, Stay Out is able to provide a wider circle of care. We work with community organizations, faith-based groups, employers, service providers and agencies that believe in restoration, accountability and second chances.
