Reentry Coalition

The Lancaster County Reentry Coalition (LCRC) is a robust, diverse, and growing collaborative of stakeholders united by a shared vision and engaged in a shared mission. Each stakeholder has a unique and important role yet is committed to collectively implementing this shared plan to ensure successful reentry opportunities exist for every re-entrant returning to their communities from jail or prison.

For more information on barriers re-entrants face or to partner in the work of reentry, contact: Carrie Kurtz, Director of Reentry Planning & Coordination.
