Established by the Legal Action Center in 2001, the National Helping Individuals with criminal records Re-enter through Employment (H.I.R.E.) Network is both a national clearinghouse for information and an advocate for policy change. It is one of several special projects at the Legal Action Center. The goal of the National H.I.R.E. Network is to increase the number and quality of job opportunities available to people with criminal records by changing public policies, employment practices and public opinion. (Read the National H.I.R.E. Network's operating principles and advocacy priorities to learn more.)
HIRE accomplishes these goals by providing leadership on public policy advocacy, providing technical assistance and training on overcoming labor market barriers based on a criminal record, and promoting collaboration between individuals directly affected by the criminal justice system, advocates, practitioners, researchers, and policymakers working to improve the employability of people with criminal records. The National H.I.R.E. Network is generously supported by the Open Society Foundations.
1) They assist with survival, stabilization and self sufficiency needs.
2) free publications to learn about transitional issues.
3) Information on companies that get paid to hire ex-offenders.
4) State-specifics rules and procedures to follow.
And so many more information you need to start rebuilding your life.
Believe it or not, some people will be glad that you quit.
They may not say it, but unfortunately many people you know will hope for you to give up. This is for the simple reason that your dedication to your goal will remind them of their own unrealized potential. Rather than proving your doubters right, let your dedication inspire.
