Interaction Transition [99]

• Over the past two years, Interaction Transition has made many changes. After over 25 years of providing residential housing support to ex-offenders, I/T no longer has residential services and is focusing on an Employment Assistance Program, thus we will continue to benefit those returning to the community. The Employment Assistance Program fulfills the vital and important need in getting ex-offenders immediately employed post-incarceration. And employment is significantly related to the successful re-entry of ex- offenders. I encourage you to explore our web site to find out how you can get involved with our re-entry programs, whether you are returning to the community or wish to provide jobs and other services to those in need.
