MEET THE PROGRAM DIRECTOR
“Justice-impacted individuals in the Cedar Valley are underserved and deserve a meaningful opportunity to move forward. Road Home connects people with employment, practical support and life skills that can provide stability and build a stronger foundation beyond the workplace. By helping employers recognize each person’s potential, we strengthen families, expand our local workforce and create a community where a past conviction does not define someone’s future.”
