    DCTS Working Towards Helping Justice Serve Individuals R.I.S.E.

      

    Dr. Fay Ashworth and Wendy Sellars, the face of Davidson County Transitional Services, recognize that there is essentially non-existent of Transitional Housing in Davidson County, NC, for those transitioning from jail or prison. Wendy sees this weekly as she attends court on behalf of clients who are on work release and preparing to transition out of the prison system. As a probation officer, and working within the criminal justice system for over twenty-years, Wendy has firsthand knowledge of the struggle. Dr. Ashworth encounters this barrier when speaking with Clients  with loved ones in the criminal justice system. The Sec2Nd Chance Transitional Housing (SCTH) Program goal is to assist justice served justice-involved individuals "Reach Individual Success Everyday (R.I.S.E.)" by empowering them to return and live in their perspective communities. The grant  DCTS received from TPP  is one of the first stepping stones to helping Davidson County Transitional Services achieve  the milestone of having the first Transitional Housing in Davidson County that serves justice serve individuals. The program will  target those individuals who are released from prison or persons who need transitional housing after being denied housing due to having a criminal record.
