About
Reenter. ReconÂnect. Rebuild.
For all the quesÂtions that may come up durÂing the reentry proÂcess,​“Where do I start?” is one of the hardÂest and most importÂant to answer. Return Home BalÂtimore was creÂated to be that startÂing point for returnÂing citÂizens in BalÂtimore City and BalÂtimore County.
Even though only 1 in 10 MaryÂland resÂidÂents is from BalÂtimore, as many as 1 in 3 people curÂrently incarÂcerÂated in MaryÂland are from BalÂtimore City. These citÂizens face a numÂber of barÂriÂers to resumÂing life and work when they finÂish serving their time and return home. And if you’re a returnÂing citÂizen yourÂself, you know there are many barÂriÂers to overÂcome and hoops to jump through before you can get back to life and work.
That’s why Return Home BalÂtimore was creÂated — to provide returnÂing citÂizens in BalÂtimore with a centÂral hub of resources and informÂaÂtion. WhethÂer you’re lookÂing for work or a place to rest your head, this portal can quickly lead you to informÂaÂtion and organÂizÂaÂtions that can supÂport you through your jourÂney.
