The B-Unit
The B-Unit is an 18-month transitional living initiative for justice-involved men The B Unit believes that change starts with stability. Affordable, supportive housing is essential for stability in the lives of those returning to society from incarceration. According to the National Institute of Justice, if a returning citizen does not have stable housing, about 68% of them will re-offend for a new crime within 18 months of their release, and 77% will re-offend within 3 years of their release from prison. The B-Unit focuses on six components of service:
- Housing
- Clinical Case Management
- Anger Management
- Substance Abuse Support
- Job Readiness Preparation
- Academic Support
