More reentry help for people leaving incarceration

The law creates an Office of Reentry Services in the Department of Labor and Industry. It coordinates and expands help for people exiting or preparing to exit incarceration in Montana. Services include job training and apprenticeships, job placement, education and online certificates, and entrepreneurship. It also provides transition planning, housing help, transportation and food support, and links to substance use and mental health care. The Office works with Commerce, Corrections, Justice, Public Health, higher education, and public schools, and consults businesses, treatment, advocacy, and housing groups.
