Hosts Herbert Alexander and Bob Eisenman sit down with Remerg - the organization that typically co-hosts this show. This time, CRJ turns the tables to get an update on what’s new at Remerg, from Executive Director Darren Smith, Director of Advancement Jeff Wise, and Director of Programs Allen Browning. They discuss their recent findings about some of the specific gaps facing people returning from incarceration, and they share Remerg’s answer to those challenges: a human-centered approach of walking individuals through tailored support pathways, while initiating tough conversations with landlords, employers, and political officials. They forecast a major overhaul of the Remerg website, as their team continues to refine how they serve their 85,000-86,000 users annually.
Hotlines is a production of Colorado Radio for Justice (CRJ).
