2017 Edition Coming Home Directory, 2017 Edition – 2017 Edition Coming Home Directory, 2017 Edition – www.cominghomedirectory.org COMING HOME DIRECTORY www.cominghomedirectory.org Dear Reader: With generous support from the Gardiner Howland Shaw Foundation (www.shawfoundation.org), Community Resources for Justice (CRJ) is proud to distribute this comprehensive directory of reentry services for previously incarcerated individuals in Greater Boston. The Coming Home Reentry Resource Directory is an effective tool to assist returning citizens, their families and support networks, as well as service providers, community leaders and government officials in establishing stability for people returning to our communities. This Directory is presented by the Crime and Justice Institute (CJI) at CRJ. For more than 130 years, CRJ has been providing direct care and supportive services to society’s most challenged citizens. CRJ’s direct service programs range from residential homes for adults with developmental disabilities to programs serving at-risk youth and men and women returning home from incarceration. In support of CRJ’s mission, CJI provides nonpartisan consulting, policy analysis, and research services to improve public safety throughout the country. With our creative, collaborative approaches to today’s most pressing and complex social and public safety problems, we are committed to improving public safety and human service delivery nationwide and in Massachusetts. At CRJ, we know all too well that the transition from incarceration to the community is a difficult time for returning citizens and this transition affects their families and the communities to which they return. The needs of the population returning from prison or jail can present significant obstacles to achieving stability. Yet, there are many services and agencies in these communities that provide the assistance that can mean the difference between a returning citizen’s success and a return to prison or jail. This effort is intended to identify and describe these services and distribute this information to as broad an audience as possible. The Directory is based on the great foundation constructed by the Prisoner Reentry Working Group, the original authors of the Directory. CJI took over production in 2009 and continues to build on the good work that has been done. The Coming Home Directory website can be found at www.cominghomedirectory.org. You can search the Directory in a number of ways, get contact information, and download and/or print the PDF version of the Directory. Due to the costs of producing the printed version, updates will be published in printed form, annually. However, this website will be updated on a rolling basis. Therefore, please visit the site for the most up-to-date information.

This Directory is a compilation of services available to previously incarcerated citizens returning to or living in communities in Greater Boston. The Directory presents important information for returning citizens, corrections practitioners and policymakers, as well as those with an interest in accessing services for returning citizens, including their families and friends, volunteers and other service providers. This Directory is presented by the Crime and Justice Institute (CJI) at Community Resources for Justice (CRJ). What is the Purpose of the Directory? The purpose of the Directory is to assist returning citizens, their families, service providers and local agencies in helping ex-offenders improve their chances of success in the community by connecting them to services important for stability and success. The transition of individuals from incarceration to the community is a difficult time and this transition affects their families and the communities to which they return. The needs of the population returning from prison or jail can present significant obstacles to achieving stability. Yet, there are many services and agencies in these communities that provide the type of assistance that can mean the difference between a returning citizen’s success and a return to prison or jail. This effort is intended to identify and describe these services and distribute this information to as broad an audience as possible. Who is the Directory for? The Directory is primarily intended to benefit the following people and groups: Returning Citizens Families and friends of returning citizens Service providers Corrections practitioners State and local agencies that provide services to people including returning citizens Policymakers interested in criminal justice and social service systems Researchers examining the services available to returning citizens in Massachusetts How Do You Access the Directory?

  • CHAPTER 2 Progress Since the Last PMT
    CHAPTER 2 Progress Since the Last PMT The 2003 PMT outlined the actions needed to bring the MBTA transit system into a state of good repair (SGR). It evaluated and prioritized a number of specific enhancement and expansion projects proposed to improve the system and better serve the regional mobility needs of Commonwealth residents. In the inter- vening years, the MBTA has funded and implemented many of the 2003 PMT priorities. The transit improvements highlighted in this chapter have been accomplished in spite of the unsus- tainable condition of the Authority’s present financial structure. A 2009 report issued by the MBTA Advisory Board1 effectively summarized the Authority’s financial dilemma: For the past several years the MBTA has only balanced its budgets by restructuring debt liquidat- ing cash reserves, selling land, and other one-time actions. Today, with credit markets frozen, cash reserves depleted and the real estate market at a stand still, the MBTA has used up these options. This recession has laid bare the fact that the MBTA is mired in a structural, on-going deficit that threatens its viability. In 2000 the MBTA was re-born with the passage of the Forward Funding legislation.This legislation dedicated 20% of all sales taxes collected state-wide to the MBTA. It also transferred over $3.3 billion in Commonwealth debt from the State’s books to the T’s books. In essence, the MBTA was born broke. Throughout the 1990’s the Massachusetts sales tax grew at an average of 6.5% per year. This decade the sales tax has barely averaged 1% annual growth.

This time, on June 25, it’ll be to choose John Kerry’s successor. US Rep. Ed Markey, a Malden Democrat, and newcomer Gabriel Gomez, a Cohasset Republican, are the two candidates on the ballot, survivors of the April 30 primary that winnowed the fields on either side. The public’s interest in the special election – set in motion in December when Kerry was tapped as President Obama’s chief diplomat – has been sluggish by most accounts. Voter listlessness was on display on Sunday at Roxbury Community College where the candidates faced off in a forum put together by MassVOTE Elizabeth Seton Academy’s class of 2013 posed for a photo outside of the school on Thurs., May and other groups. About 70 people trickled into the 26.

  • CODMAN SQUARE: a History
    CODMAN SQUARE: A History Although today, the main business street of Dorchester is Dorchester Avenue, running the entire four miles1 of the community from Howell Street in the north to Neponset falls in the south, Codman Square is the true crossroads because it is the geographic center of the district. The oldest road in Dorchester is Norfolk Street in Codman Square which, combined with Centre Street, was an ancient Massachusett Indian trail that led from the salt marshes of Commercial Point to the freshwater meadows and hills of Mattapan and Milton.2 Postcard ca. 1920 showing Washington Street leading north and the 1893 James Haddock block. Codman Square became a crossroads* in 1655 when the new Upper Road to Lower Mills was built crossing Norfolk Street. It was called simply the Upper Road to distinguish it from the Lower Road, now named Adams Street, which had been built in 1633 to connect the town center of Dorchester at Pleasant and Pond Streets to Stoughton’s gristmill at the Neponset River. The Lower Road, which served the town of Dorchester, took a wide curve around the base of Jones Hill following the line of Hancock and Stoughton Streets. *In July, 1994, Codman Commons was opened, and the 17th century crossroad was taken up by a walkway; Center Street no longer crossed Washington Street; it was shifted over to form a right angle to Talbot at the Latin Academy Apartments. 1 Actually 3.7 miles. 2 At Commercial Point—or Captain’s Point in the 17th c—was located the successful cod fishing business of John Holland beginning in the 1630’s .
