WHAT IS SECOND CHANCES?
“Second Chances” is a program sponsored by the City of Norfolk and operates under the umbrella of the Garden of Hope, CDC.
We help formerly incarcerated men and women by providing comprehensive support services that lead to their success after incarceration. The program is designed to assist non-violent offenders and formerly incarcerated individuals with transitional support services that lead to economic and social stability and healthy lifestyles.
We serve non-violent individuals living with the stigma of being labeled an ex-offender. Individuals having difficulty with employment, housing, substance, addiction issues, and other systematic barriers are able to obtain a positive re-entry experience into society.
