In three years two out of three people are rearrested and more than 50% have had contact with the system again. We believe there are three main contributing factors that increase system involvement.
1
HOMELESSNESS
In a 36 month span two out of three people reoffend and more than 50% have contact with the system. We believe there are three contributing factors to this problem.
2
UNEMPLOYMENT
Almost two thirds of homeless adults are unemployed. S4C provides employment navigation as part of our service package.
3
POVERTY
We believe poverty is a mindset and not a dollar amount this is why we provide economic empowerment, discipline, goal setting, and budgeting as apart of our tenant education and reintegration programs.
