CDOC: Community Re-Entry Specialists
Community Re-Entry Specialists (CRES) provide integrated case management and support services throughout the state to assist with removing barriers that interfere with an offender’s successful transition from prison to the community. Re-entry services may include, but are not limited to, stabilization assistance or resources for housing, transportation, clothing, personal hygiene, backpacks, work tools, employment training, and job placement. The services are based on individual need and are incentive-based, requiring the offender’s participation and accountability. CRES use cognitive-based interventions when interacting with the offenders to enhance motivation and reinforce positive behavior, deliver risk reduction, encourage stabilization efforts, support family reintegration, and assist with employment and job training opportunities. CRES also conducts an initial assessment to determine the appropriate level of re-entry transition assistance that may be needed for successful reintegration into the community.

The Empowerment Program
The Empowerment Program is a Denver-based nonprofit that removes barriers to health, housing, education, and employment so individuals can live a healthier life. Since 1986, we have worked alongside our participants, primarily cis and transgender women who have lived experiences with the criminal legal system and/or homelessness, to connect them with the services they need to achieve their goals. Since our founding, we’ve redefined “Empowerment” as a form of collective action.
