Transitional services help people about to be released from prison or jail prepare for their transition back into society, and support recently released individuals to reintegrate successfully into their communities.

Transitioning away from incarceration is a particularly challenging and disorienting process.  Many of the building blocks of independent living are not yet in place, resulting in big, seemingly insurmountable questions: “Where do I live?”, “Where is my next meal coming from?” “How do I get a job to pay for any of this?”  Fortune’s transitional services help clients navigate these complicated issues.  Services include: transportation from the correctional facility to a community-based destination, assistance accessing housing services, education, employment services, benefit eligibility assessment and referral, assistance obtaining identification, referrals to drug treatment programs, and assistance in reunifying with family and support systems in the community.
