After Life Initiative

After Life Initiative's Housing Assistance for Returning Citizens (H.A.R.C) provides comprehensive housing assistance and trauma-informed reentry services to formerly incarcerated individuals in Los Angeles County. We provide rental assistance, housing navigation, and wraparound support delivered by staff with lived experience to break cycles of incarceration and homelessness. Through this holistic approach, we ensure successful community reintegration and long-term stability for returning citizens.

Our new Navigating Life program is a social support network dedicated to supporting formerly incarcerated individuals as they reintegrate into society. We also provide comprehensive services to help participants with housing, employment, and adjusting to society. Many people returning to LA County from prison lack resources, so we provide emergency financial assistance to newly released individuals who struggle to purchase basic necessities such as clothing, hygiene products, and food.

The Navigating Life Program, implemented by The After Life Initiative, empowers formerly incarcerated individuals with comprehensive support and resources to successfully reintegrate into society. Led by individuals who have personally experienced incarceration, this program provides cultural adaptation, employment assistance, emotional support, and practical skills training to reduce recidivism and increase opportunities for those re-entering communities.
