About Georgia Reentry

The Georgia Network of Reentry Advocates website serves as a clearinghouse of information regarding advocacy, up-to-date research and statistics, available funding sources, and upcoming events. This website also serves as a referral source for individuals in need of reentry services. Community Voices in collaboration with several partner organizations aims to educate, organize advocacy, promote policy reform, vet ideas and cultivate consensus through this central locus. As in previous years, Community Voices will continue to draw together reentry advocates regionally and nationally during periodic stakeholder meetings.
