Inspire Together San Bernardino Second Chance Community-Based Re-Entry Program

Inspire Together proposes to provide comprehensive pre- and post-release re-entry services for adults who have been incarcerated and are returning to San Bernardino, California. Inspire Together has a memorandum of understanding to provide prerelease services with San Bernardino Central Detention Center, which is operated by the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.

Inspire Together will provide services for any individual exiting County jail to San Bernardino County, with a focus on transition-aged youth (ages 18–26), those who will be homeless upon release, and individuals who are gang-involved.

Services provided include assessment, individualized case management, evidence-based programming (Thinking for a Change, Seeking Safety, This Is Not About Drugs), housing search/placement, employment services, mentoring, life skills education, and linkages to supportive services (including health care, behavioral health care, substance abuse treatment, public benefits supports).
