CREATING A WORLD WITH SECOND CHANCES
Changing the narrative through advocacy, redemption, and reimagination.
About the Returning Citizens Support Group
Returning Citizens Support Group (RCSG) was founded by returning citizens to provide the re-entry supports and wrap-around services for systems impacted communities to have a real second chance. Since 2017, they've served more than 2,000 people effectively to not just reduce recidivism, but to ensure our communities can thrive. Now they boast business owners, college graduates, and most importantly, community leaders.
RCSG has effectively proved that a model of wrap-around services personalized to each individual is not only possible, but provides the best outcomes. RCSG's programming covers housing, employment, clothing, food, emotional and mental health, family reunification, and service navigation.
SUPPORT
SERVICES
RCSG provides wrap-around services to ensure that returning citizens have the support they need to successfully transition back into their communities. This includes safe housing, food, toiletries, including family reunification.
RE-ENTRY
HOUSING
RCSG is working to launch Essex County's First re-entry housing model that's by and for returning citizens that complements our wrap-around services. These housing opportunities address the urgent need for safe, affordable, and sustainable housing for returning citizens.
WAYS TO SUPPORT
Become a regular donor or a one time donor to support housing and resources for returning citizens. We are always in need of new or gently furniture; as well as new linens, toiletries, and other personal use items to provide to returning citizens.
