The
mission of AfterCare of alumni of the Community of St. Dysmas is to
assist members who have been released from prison and are working to
rebuild their lives. To that end, we continue to raise them in prayer
and help to connect them with a chruch family in the area where they
will locate. When appropriate, we also assist them with locating safe
housing, meaningful work opportunities with training, and access to area
health and social services and other programs.
AfterCare
is available for former inmates who have been regular participants in
CSD as determined by the Pastor in consultation with volunteers at the
site of incarceration.Such AfterCare may include an initial grant, and,
if needed a loan to the alumni. AfterCare will be available only during
the first year after release. AfterCare is not automatic.
