Committed to Restoring Hope
and Rebuilding Lives

Housing. Education. Employment.

Housing

Many formerly incarcerated people struggle to find places to live. A felony conviction follows them wherever they go. Housing insecurity and homelessness increase the risk for recidivism.

Pathway To Kinship works closely with returning citizens to help them find and maintain safe and stable housing.

Education

Incarcerated individuals rarely get the chance to make up for the educational and life opportunities from which they’ve been excluded while serving time.

Pathway To Kinship partners with training and education programs to provide formerly incarcerated people and their families with personal and professional development skills. These skills support their well-being and aid in their re-entry success.

Employment

Most formerly incarcerated people experience difficulty finding employers willing to hire anyone with a felony. These discriminatory policies further limit the possibility of a living wage.

Pathway To Kinship works with individuals inside and outside of the system to prepare them for employment after incarceration. Pathway’s training participants have applied their new skills to enroll in higher education, land careers in trade unions or as social workers, and more.

Our Story

Across the U.S., over 10,000 individuals leave prison each week — many of whom have been incarcerated for years, if not decades. They are often released without the support, training, or resources necessary to be successful in life after prison. We are working to change that. We help people who get free to stay free.

Pathway To Kinship partners with re-entry programs across the country to provide the formerly incarcerated and their families with the skills for personal and professional development.
