What is the full-throated, albeit prudent and safe, economic case for second chance hiring? How can we be more responsibly faithful to our highest ideals as a good, forgiving, and generous nation?
Mitch will be joined by a panel of formerly incarcerated individuals who will share the challenges they faced upon re-entry to society. The first 100 registrations include a copy of Second Chance Hiring (one book per household, please).

The RMF Program is intended to reduce risks to property owners in efforts to expand housing opportunities for households with barriers to accessing housing or those unable to obtain housing without additional funding coverage or guarantees in place.

Households served by property owners under this Program must be eligible under the Family Homeless Prevention and Assistance Program (FHPAP) guidelines outlined in the FHPAP Program Guide. While Grant Proceeds will be directed only to services, activities, and reimbursements for property owners, Grant outcomes will be tracked for both property owners and renters.
