Recovery Finance: Financial Health and Mental Health After Incarceration

Running, not enrolling · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Financial Hardship, Mental Health Issue, Substance Use

In brief

This proposal will address financial wellbeing, an often overlooked but important factor impacting reentry for justice-involved people with mental health challenges, who are disproportionately Black and Latine. The project will change community level determinants by integrating financial capability support (one-on-one coaching and access to financial tools and services) into existing services and training bank and credit union staff to reduce discrimination. It will also support collaborative community efforts working towards upstream policy and legal reforms to reduce the incidence of those financial challenges.
