Why This Matters

The Returning Home Act establishes a program to assist individuals who have been incarcerated by providing rental assistance and housing services. This helps them secure stable living situations as they reintegrate into society, which is crucial for reducing repeat offenses.

If you know someone who has been incarcerated, this bill could help them find affordable housing as they transition back to everyday life.
