SOME OF TW'S STORY
TW came into the SOAR Re-Entry Center for help. He has no family support and is new to the area. TW went through our intake which focuses on 14 keys areas, and a priority on helping people get their ID/Drivers License, prevent homelessness and a living wage paying job. TW needed the basics including a birth certificate, clothes, shoes, personal care items and a job. We helped him secure these things and aided in his search for stable housing. TW found a job, but is looking for better employment. TW is stable and found an affordable apartment. He has been out of prison for almost six months.
SUPPORT.
"This program has assisted me with clothes, a job, temporary housing and personal care items. I don't know what I would have done without the program."
E. Eason
OPPORTUNITY
"They have helped me and answered questions every step of the way. Without this program I would end up on the streets. I was in prison for 26 years and thought no one cared, but I was wrong! "
R. Ramos
ADVOCACY.
"We need the reentry center, especially guys like me need it after 31 years in prison.....reentry gave me hope, along with family support, to continue pressing forward."
A. Kilgore
RESILIENCE.
"I was skeptical at first because people say they will help you but don't, and I was also homeless with a felony. They surprised me because they looked at me as a person and really helped me. I have clothes now and a full time job. These people are so serious and it makes me feel better about myself."
