The unemployment rate for formerly incarcerated people is nearly five times higher than the unemployment rate for the general United States population and substantially higher than even the worst years of the Great Depression.

You are invited to convene with other community-based organizations, nonprofits, businesses, criminal justice partners, earn-and-learn providers, volunteers and justice-involved individuals to address the crisis of finding employment after incarceration.

Join us for this meeting in anticipation of the San Diego Workforce Partnership’s release of a Request for Proposals for an approximate award of $2 million. Possible respondents will engage in a community conversation on creative solutions to solicit high quality applications.
