The READY Center serves as a consolidated hub or "one-stop shop" where returning citizens can access a wide range of services from Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) and District government agencies. 

At the READY Center, we are deeply committed to engaging with individuals under DOC's care prior to their release and supporting those who have already returned to the community.

Our primary objective is to ensure a smooth and successful reintegration into society. To achieve this, we strive to establish meaningful connections and forge strong partnerships with organizations that serve as anchors in our community to help reduce recidivism.
