Almost 50,000 people a year enter homeless shelters immediately after exiting incarceration. Returning from jail, prison or juvenile detention places an
immediate barrier to stable housing and employment.
The Calcasieu Prisoner Reentry Initiative (CAL-PRI) is comprised of a diverse group of members representing local, state and federal government agencies; community-based agencies; faith-based
groups and other individuals who wish to assist re-entering community members in their desire to be successful.
The next monthly CAL-PRI meeting is
TUESDAY, JANUARY 11, 2022

United Way of Southwest Louisiana
815 Ryan Street, Lake Charles
