Tonight, Osborne, Brooklyn Workforce Innovations, Drive Change, and Cases, recipients of this year's third annual Belong Brooklyn initiative by the John and Clara Tsai Social Justice Fund for Brooklyn, will be honored at the New York Liberty game! This year's Belong Brooklyn initiative emphasizes employment equity, via workforce readiness and re-entry programs, as a means of belonging. Osborne Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, Jon Monsalve, Executive Vice President and Chief Program Officer, Michelle Howard, and a few other staff will be present at tonight's game, and a video about employment equity featuring grantees will play on the jumbotron. We are grateful to be recipients of this year's funding to support our reentry workforce programs in Brooklyn. You can learn more about the gift on their website! https://lnkd.in/eG5Abah7

Check out this AIA New York | Center for Architecture article that highlights the amazing transformation of a 117-year-old Bronx building into our Fulton Community Reentry Center. Renovated in partnership with Curtis + Ginsberg Architects, the building recently re-opened to welcome men returning from incarceration. Built in 1907, the seven-story, 63,000-square-foot building has served various roles: church, nursing home, drug treatment facility, and most recently a state-run minimum-security correctional facility until 2011. Now, Fulton is a unique shelter operated in partnership with the NYC Department of Social Services offering transitional housing for formerly incarcerated men over 50. Osborne provides supportive services and safe and stable housing to aid them as they rebuild their lives. To learn more: https://lnkd.in/eMxc_y6c

Allison Hollihan, Director | NY Initiative for Children of Incarcerated Parents quoted in a neaToday article. “People are learning at home that ‘this is not something that we talk about’ and they are learning shame,” Hollihan says. “They come to school, and they are carrying all this weight of the separation and worry of having an incarcerated parent and they feel like they can’t talk about it.” Click the link below to read more. https://lnkd.in/eAJcYxuf
