is there financial help for convicted felons?

Question

i just was released from prison and need financial help

Answer 1

You need to be specific on the financial assistance you're seeking if it's for school you can't get it if you were convicted and served jail time for drug charges. I don't know where you live, but there's an organization that does have an ex offender's program for those who were recently or freshly released from prison where you can get job training and placement in some decent employment and they also help you get into housing that's in compliance with your parole and that is drug free. Contact Goodwill Industries at www.Goodwill.org or call them at 1-800-741-0186 and ask them about the Ex Offender's program or resources they can direct you to for those who are parolees and need a chance to start over again with employment and other resources. Make sure that you get your social security card and state ID or driver's license you're going to need these. I hope this helps :-)
