Reentry Housing and Workforce Development Program.

Summary

AB 722 would have the Department of Housing and Community Development set up a Reentry Housing and Workforce Development Program that gives five‑year grants to organizations providing housing, support services, and job training for people with recent incarceration histories. The program requires coordination with the Department of Corrections and counties, and it earmarks 10‑20% of funds for community groups led by formerly incarcerated individuals. The goal is to reduce homelessness and recidivism among this population.
