To help formerly incarcerated people transition to lives of success and fulfillment.
The mission of Second Chance Center (SCC) is to help formerly incarcerated people transition to lives of success and fulfillment. In FY 2020, SCC served 1,792 clients with a recidivism rate of only 10% compared to 47% statewide. Our client base has a high rate of mental illness, brain injuries and substance use disorders. Many people are released with no home to go to, and no family to turn to for help. Housing and mental health care are our clients' most pressing needs. Once those two needs are met, they are better able to take advantage of SCC's education, job training and employment programs. Finding and keeping employment is essential to parole compliance and to being able to secure and maintain a home. But beyond an income, successful and rewarding employment is what provides people with a sense of self-worth and belonging the reason they get up every day. The desperate need for a job is often what brings people to SCC and the mentoring, counseling and support that we provide within a caring community is what they discover they need to keep that job and to build a successful life.With the help of care managers, clients develop three specific life goals at intake, which are then supported by ongoing mentoring and access to basic needs including food, clothing, health care and transportation. SCC delivers hope with in-prison programming before clients are released, and then offers a welcoming community where staff and peers are dedicated to effective re-integration. A growing partnership with Aurora Mental Health Center integrates professional mental health care into our non-traditional model of peer support in a familiar and supportive setting onsite at SCC.Providence at the Heights, our 50-unit Permanent Supportive Housing project, opened in February 2020 just before COVID struck, providing a safe place for formerly homeless people/people with a history of justice involvement.COVID was a huge challenge, especially given the vulnerable people we serve, who are at high risk for COVID-19. After an initial brief closure, we speedily adapted, offering services remotely by Zoom or telephone, and safely distancing any essential in-person services, such as providing food, clothing, etc.
