Reentry Resource Center for People With Justice System Involvement
The Reentry Resource Center (RERC) is operated by Connections Work and is a single point of contact for people with current or prior justice system involvement who need help getting to community resources.
It is for anyone with current or prior involvement with the justice system. The page does not list any other requirement.
Staff start with a brief assessment, which helps determine your immediate needs. From there you get assistance for basic needs, along with information and referrals to services in the community, and help with next steps.
You can call or come in Monday through Friday, 8 to 5. Walk-ins are welcome, and you can also schedule an appointment by emailing referral@connectionswork.org. The phone number is 484.260.3860. The office is at 19 N. 6th St, 4th Floor, Reading, PA 19601.
Connections Work also publishes the Ready to Reenter Resource Guide, which is designed to help connect returning citizens with services in Berks County. It addresses basic needs like employment, identification and clothing, and also gives information for probation and parole, domestic relations and other government agencies. The guide is updated every few months as new information becomes available. Corrections or changes can be sent to referral@connectionswork.org.
The page does not say whether there is any cost, so ask when you call.
