Our Rikers SMART program offers a seamless continuum of services through the provision of pre-release services inside Rikers Island that continues within the community following reentry. Upon release, community facilitators assist with support services including housing stabilization, subsidized employment, job readiness, short-term occupational training, and job retention services.
Each year, approximately 50% of participants served inside of Rikers become engaged in our community-based services and of those we place on average 60% in jobs.
