Returning Citizen Financial Planning Webinar

The Connecticut Association for Human Services (CAHS) Returning Citizens Program engages individuals who are six months to a year from being released and/or are currently in reentry programs. Using the CAHS Connecticut Money School curriculum, the program will focus on preventing soon-to-released individuals from struggling with money or other financial issues. Bills and debts DO accumulate during incarceration. Struggle with financial barriers for the re-entry community increases recidivism rates are, for example, people who have been incarcerated have a 69% drop in credit scores, resulting in both pre and post-incarceration debts, which impact access to housing, employment, and financial products, and increases the likelihood of recidivism by 15–20%.

The goal of the program is to help returning citizens:

  • Decrease Debt
  • Increase Savings
  • Increase Credit Scores
  • Resolve Identity Theft Issues
  • Connect to Safe and Affordable Bank Accounts

Tori Hamilton and Takima Robinson from the Connecticut Association for Human Services (CAHS) will be speaking about financial resources for justice impacted people, both currently and formerly incarcerated.
