- Share via
Ex-convicts returning to city neighborhoods will receive new job training, housing services, education opportunities, healthcare and other help under a $1.2-million pilot program announced Friday.
The city, one of 21 recipients of grants totaling $11.3 million from the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, will use its money to help parolees from Lancaster state prison make the transition back to their communities. The ex-convicts will be linked with job centers, mental health counseling and other services.
