HAVE A QUESTION?...WE HAVE ANSWERS!

Grants are awarded to returning citizens after incarceration of up to 3 months of release from prison. Clients credit scores are not a requirement, however, there is still a limited amount of barriers to qualify for funding to ensure clients have an equal opportunity to compete for business funding in their category. 

HOW IT WORKS...Each business category will have business plan books available for purchase. Each book has a comprehensive business plan template to cover all aspects of such business idea, strategy and supportive text to help clients finish and complete the business plan at their convenience. After the plan is completed, clients can fill out the enclosed application for funding at the end and submit to: Reentry Academy

Most basic level transitional programs are very cheap for a reason. They are designed as a temporary fix to a client's immediate homeless problem, not a permanent solution. Basic TLP Programs are only for 3 months ( 90 ) days, and if you are compliant you go on a month to month service. ( this helps you to save, not to sustain ) So rental fees are as low as $300 - $400 per month. Not including transportation. However, when it comes to real world numbers, your next level living must meet your community's living standards. Which are much higher. The average rent by 2026 standards is $1,413 - $1,452 if you live in a small city or town in the United States. If you add all of your living expenses plus transportation, gas, insurance etc. You will end up paying approximately $2,670 (+). And this is just for a single person. The average family of (4) up to $5,880. This is by far just one reason why you should strongly consider joining the Reentry Academy. Average living expenses $1,250 ALL INCLUSIVE. Price may vary depend on market fluctuation.
