As our prison systems struggles with overcrowding and challenges with compliance on managing this issue, care of our imprisoned citizens is grotesquely poor. Once individuals get out of the system, they are faced with many challenges and severe bias in finding housing, employment and medical care. A panel of industry veterans and an audience of frontline care providers, engaged community members, and advocates gathered to share and discuss what we can do to work on this very pressing issue.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/projecthomelessconnect.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/CKsehVCWUAAF2bT2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"481\" height=\"447\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-7258 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/projecthomelessconnect.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/CKsehVCWUAAF2bT2.jpg\" alt=\"CKsehVCWUAAF2bT2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projecthomelessconnect.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/CKsehVCWUAAF2bT2.jpg 481w, https:\/\/projecthomelessconnect.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/CKsehVCWUAAF2bT2-300x279.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 481px) 100vw, 481px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The evening began with a discussion where our panel identified key issues for people exiting prison:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Access to stable housing is often a problem and can contribute to whether or not people violate their parole and end up back in jail.<\/li>\n<li>Returning to public housing or living with someone in public housing is not an option if you have a felony on your<\/li>\n<li>There is a cycle of incarceration that is common: someone is accepted to a treatment program after leaving prison and is trying to stay off drugs.They end up in a residential facility where drugs are present and daily stresses and pressure are inevitable.They may end up using drugs, thus violating their parole and landing them back in prison.<\/li>\n<li>There is a lack of affordable housing in San Francisco and in neighboring cities, forcing people to move to far-out suburbs to find housing, away from family and support services.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One of our panelists brought up the problem that many parolees have \u201cbasically nowhere\u201d to go and expressed his frustration, saying, \u201cI just don\u2019t know where to start with change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the discussion brought up the many challenges we are facing as a community, the panel and the audience freely shared their connections and resources. The discussion ranged from advocating for benefits for veterans to opinion and insight on current policy like the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance (the \u201cban the box\u201d law) and a unanimous belief that we can and should do better. We also gathered <a href=\"http:\/\/projecthomelessconnect.org\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Resource-List-from-Care-After-Incarceration.pdf\">this list of wisdom, tools, and resources<\/a> from panelists and attendees of the event.
