Join TPCH and the Pima County Criminal Justice Reform Unit for a Community Forum on JULY 13, 2021- 1:00PM-3:00PM
The Justice and Homelessness Connection- A Community Forum
People incarcerated more than one time are 13 times more likely to experience homelessness than the general population according to the Urban Institute. The homelessness-jail cycle has devastating consequences for individuals and families and poses considerable costs to the community.
Join TPCH and the Pima County Criminal Justice Reform Unit for this two-hour community forum exploring the connection between criminal justice and homelessness. The forum will include a background on the case for greater collaboration to support people leaving incarceration and lessons learned from current efforts to coordinate post-release housing and support. During the session, a moderated panel including representatives from local justice systems, Pima County’s Criminal Justice Reform Unit, organizations providing re-entry supportive services, and community members who have experienced the homelessness-jail cycle themselves will share insight, expertise, and opportunities for greater system collaboration.
