Justice, Care and Opportunities Department to Host “Second Chance Month” Events Across Los Angeles County

The Los Angeles County Justice, Care and Opportunities Department or JCOD, in collaboration with County and community partners, will host resource fairs, meet-and-greets and grand opening ceremonies in all five Supervisorial districts during the month of April in honor of Second Chance Month.

Second Chance Month spotlights the importance of reentry programs, restorative justice, and trauma-informed care to support justice-involved individuals. Throughout the month, various events will offer resources and opportunities for individuals, communities and agencies across the County aimed at reducing recidivism, supporting recovery, improving outcomes and promoting healing.

The Second Chance Month events are an opportunity for justice-involved individuals and their families to learn about available and forthcoming resources from JCOD and community-based organizations in their area. JCOD offers reentry services, including employment assistance, housing, substance use counseling and much more.
