HFGFone Program

Home for Good Phone

About the Program

There are many factors that impact successful reentry, and the level of support provided to returning citizens during the first few days and weeks of their release is critical.

 

The HFGFone Program leverages the power of a cell phone to provide returning citizens with immediate access to information and important reentry resources. Given the circumstances and financial situation of many formerly incarcerated individuals, a no-cost smartphone is essential to facilitate basic communication, find housing and employment, access mobile banking, and obtain other critical services. 

 

We work with the reentry community to provide this Program to returning citizens.
