Re-Entry Programing

People coming out of prison lack opportunities to redirect their lives and have high re-arrest rates. Therefore, safety is not necessarily improved, and the distrust and dissatisfaction on the community level continues. The way to reduce this drain on taxpayers and governments is innovative change that involves the community.

The No Entry Network has been providing evidence based reentry programming that has produced successful outcomes and positively impacted the lives of hundreds of returning citizens and their families in Washington, DC for most of the past decade. Davis Endeavors has partnered with The No Entry Network to lead the programming and workforce development for justice involved persons returning to the community to produce successful outcome in the areas of reentry & adjustment, family reunification, economic opportunity, housing stability, mental health and wellness, and community engagement.
