How Home to Stay gives those who have been incarcerated support to restart their lives

Written By Covering Wisconsin

President Joe Biden has officially proclaimed April 2024 as Second Chance Month, calling on Congress to invest billions in mental health and substance use services, job training and affordable housing to support people who are leaving incarceration.

While people here and nationwide wait on federal action, Home to Stay makes these same resources far more accessible in Milwaukee every month.

Home to Stay is a resource event that connects those who have been incarcerated with housing, employment, health insurance and banking.

Home to Stay takes place on the first Wednesday of every month from noon to 2 p.m. at Partners in Hope, 324 W. North Ave. Partners in Hope is a division of The Community Warehouse, a faith-based organization that works with returning citizens.
