I need all the information I can get about this One Stop Reentry Center.  I am in the process of putting together  one in Fort Worth, Texas.

I believe there is no reason to reinvent the wheel.

Since this one is opening in September I could save months of  time, mistakes and research by partenering with you,

I really need all the assistance I can get .

My hat is off to you for the excellent job you have preformed . I wish  you great success and I'm positive many, many people wil receieve help  that is  much needed.  

Sincerely,

Fran Bonner, Director

Hi Fran,

Unfortunately I do not have any contact information for the One-Stops in Philadelphia.  Hopefully they will see your reply and get in touch.  In the meantime, you might want to check out the "Career Resource Center" CD-ROM created by the National Institute of Corrections.  You can order the CD at no cost to you or your organization through our information center.  Visit nicic.org/.../020931 for information on how to order.

NIC's "how to" guide on getting a resource center up and running should be available in September.  When it is released I will announce it on www.nicic.org/owd.  

Hope that helps,

Scott
