We are making tremendous progress in changing the lives of our team members. @Brian- we are a volunteer organization. We receive NO federal or state grants. Our blight efforts allowed us to earn a contract with the City of Memphis to FiGHT BLIGHT, but that is actual work, not a handout. Check out our website, www.lifeline2success.org, or just stop by our office before noon to witness our training sessions. We are a program, not an agency. God bless! I am humbled by those kind words.

The federal money that is currently being funneled to cronies for “rehabilitation efforts of less than 20% effectiveness” needs to go directly to this effort WITH OVERSIGHT.

It is for this reason that planning for reentry must begin upon the day of entry to the system, not the day of return from the system.
