Programs & Services

Programs & Services

CJM’s programs give people a real chance at rebuilding their lives after incarceration by meeting them where they are—with housing, support, and dignity. Without this kind of help, too many fall through the cracks and end up back inside or out on the streets. We show up when it matters most, walking with people through one of the hardest transitions they’ll ever face.
