Rebuilding Stable Lives in the Community
Having a stable and supportive place to go after release from prison is one of the most important factors in helping women achieve a successful transition, free of future involvement with the legal system. All our community reintegration programs offer individualized support and connection to our broader range of programs, so each woman’s specific needs are prioritized.
Youth Community Custody Program
Marjorie’s Place is a full-time custody home for girls aged 12-17 who are in conflict with the law. It offers a therapeutic setting where girls have the opportunity to develop life and interpersonal skills, and enhance their physical, emotional and social well-being.
Supportive Halfway House
Liz’s Place provides women on probation and parole with a safe place to plan and prepare for their move back to independent living. We offer a wide variety of programs within the house, including counselling, life and job skills development, money management education, and substance use recovery.
Pardon Me Record Suspension
Even an old criminal record can be a significant barrier to finding housing or getting a job. Pardon Me helps qualifying women navigate the record suspension process, also known as a pardon. For low-income women, this no-cost program also covers required government application fees. For more information, contact pardonme@efryhope.com.
