The Economic Study for Reentry

As the world recovers economically it is important to understand that each group has its own challenges with the Economic Recovery process. The City of Long Beach heard us and worked with Ronnie’s House to support a roundtable for those who have been impacted by the Justice system to hear their needs for recovery. Their voices of our resilient Justice Impacted Community, led to Mayor Robert Garcia’s announcement, that the new Economic Recovery Package of 2021 will include funding to support our Justice Impacted Community. Ronnie’s House creates the spaces those impacted create the solutions.

The Economic Ground Table with city of Long Beach to advance reentry

Ronnie’s House helped connect those who have been impacted by the Justice System to be heard and worked with Cal States professor, Heather, and her Team to ensure that the needs of those impacted by the Justice system and their experiences were heard.
