Hartford Community Restorative Justice Center (HCRJC) is a community-based organization that aims to reduce crime and rebuild the community in the greater Hartford area. All programs offered are based on the principles of restorative justice. The Center's Reentry Program provides employment, housing, sober living, and life skills resources. Furthermore, this program establishes clear expectations of its participants for positive community behavior. Their Transitional Housing Program provides stable housing for men and women coming out of incarceration in a safe and sober living environment. Volunteers with the Reentry Program assist participants with establishing attainable goals, identifying barriers to change and ways to overcome them, and developing a new way of living to ensure a successful reentry and a path toward independence. HCRJC's Pre-charge program offers a restorative justice approach for addressing wrongdoing before a formal charge has been made and/or before further processing by the criminal legal system.
