Reentry Program for Incarcerated Veterans
Description
The Reentry Program for incarcerated veterans is a joint project with King County to address the needs of veterans incarcerated in county correctional facilities, offering alternatives to jail and referral to housing, employment services, and treatment. The program provides transitional housing for veterans upon release from jail, assessment and referral to the Puget Sound VA Health Care System for treatment, including drug, alcohol and mental health counseling, job referral and placement services, and assistance with court appearances and early release requirements. In addition, the Adult Services Division supports veterans in King County through various initiatives such as the King County Veterans Program, Veterans, Seniors and Human Services Levy, and partners with veteran-serving organizations across the community. This organization supports veterans through investments and services to improve and stabilize their housing, finances, health and social engagement and strengthen the network of veterans services. If you wish to know more about the services offered to justice-impacted veterans, please contact them directly.
