Local nonprofit, Project 180, breaks the cycle of incarceration and recidivism by providing workforce education and financial literacy classes for inmates and a residential program to provide formerly incarcerated men up to two years of stable residency, food assistance, transportation, and financial assistance. In April, Project 180 received a $230,000 grant to purchase the three-bedroom house for which the organization had been paying monthly rent.
