USING THIS SITE

Resources for Reentry is a dynamic, user-driven system that maps the organizations, agencies and corporate partners in Louisiana's nine parish Capital Region that together provide a wealth of services for individuals and families directly impacted by incarceration.

There are nine general categories and thirty-five more specific topics to help you discover organizations whose missions include the needed service(s) you select. Add context to your search results by selecting demographic data layers (e.g., poverty rates, home ownership, etc.) from the U.S. Census Bureau.
