Ready4Release

It's no longer one day. It's now day one!

Working in collaboration with the Department of Corrections, Operation New Hope delivers pre-release services to over 40 facilities in Florida. Our dedicated Ready4Release team targets qualified inmates and presents Ready4Work program details. Experienced Case Managers enroll interested clients and build an individualized release plan to facilitate a smooth transition back into the community.

By meeting with clients monthly during the 90 days prior to their release, we bridge the reentry divide to ensure adequate housing, transportation, and job training. The success of the program is evident in the transformation stories of our clients, enhanced hiring practices for employment partners, healthier communities and families, reduced recidivism, and better public safety.

Program Benefits:

  • Direct connection to an experienced Case Manager
  • Development of Individualized Transition Plan
  • Coordination of housing prior to release
  • Transportation from Greyhound Station to our Ready4Work location (when available)
  • Priority Enrollment - Begin the Ready4Work program upon release without waiting
  • Welcome Home Package
"I got out on a Thursday, was set up with a transitional house, and started the Ready4Work program the following Monday. It was great! I took what I gained from the program and landed two jobs in one week."

Ready4Work Graduate, Working at Beaches Recovery
"A few months before I was about to be released, I met these two guys from Operation New Hope's Ready4Release. They kept it real and told me about all the program benefits. They gave me the momentum I needed to succeed on the outside."
