Deanna Logan highlights MOCJ's transitional housing initiative as a significant investment in reentry support, providing stable housing options for individuals leaving incarceration.

The initiative evolved from a COVID-19 emergency housing model into a sustainable transitional housing program.
It provides a direct pathway to permanent housing for participants.
In 2022, over 250 individuals were moved into permanent housing through this initiative.
The program collaborates with HPD, partner providers, and utilizes emergency housing vouchers.
