CUYAHOGA COUNTY, Ohio — Cuyahoga County's re-entry department continues to amplify the voices of the re-entry community during re-entry week. People like Mike Jones, who were once incarcerated, have a chance to connect with different organizations and employers who want to help rebuild and help the re-entry community."21 years later, and it's still like I just came home. If I go look for a house today, they're going to do a background check to exclude me from housing.
Jones said most prisoners don't want to return to jail after being released, but once they are released, they are met with many no's and barriers, making it hard for them to stay on the right path. "We sat down, and we put together the eight point plan for Cuyahoga County to strategize to make housing affordable and effective for people that are impacted," said Jones.
