## Summary

**National Reentry Week** highlights the United States' mass incarceration crisis and urges federal action to support people leaving prison with housing, education, job training, and mental health services to reduce recidivism. - Formerly incarcerated people: Calls for increased access to halfway homes, education while incarcerated, higher education grants after release, occupational training, and mental health care to help stabilize reentry and lower repeat offending. - Families and communities: Frames reentry investments as a way to improve public safety and community stability by addressing barriers to housing, employment, and credit. - Federal agencies: Directs the Department of Justice and the Bureau of Prisons to coordinate reentry events, efforts, and learning opportunities at their facilities. - Policymakers and funders: Urges Congress to invest in evidence-based policies and community-driven programs that fund housing, job training, and mental health services for people reentering society. *The resolution recognizes large incarceration costs and the need for investment in reentry, and it urges coordination and funding without specifying new federal spending.*
