Our resource center, located at 485 Plainfield Street in Providence, provides wrap around reentry support services for anyone with a criminal record, including assistance with vital records, employment, housing, transportation and addiction recovery.  Anyone can complete an intake just by calling 401-781-5808 extension #3 for a phone intake, and they will be referred to either our own services or opportunities at partner organization.  Some of the basic services we can help with include:

  • obtaining a social security card, birth-certificate, or State ID

  • help signing up for housing through the Coordinated Entry System, the Recovery Housing Network, or with permanent housing applications
