When people are released from custody, income and food assistance is often their priority. If they had benefits prior to arrest, these have often been terminated or suspended and if they were employed, they have often lost their income, residence, and other supports such as healthcare. The SSA office at the Reentry Resource Center has always been the top requested service as it provides vital support to clients who have been separated from society.
