AB 109 Assitance, Fontana, CA

AB 109 has impacted every community in the State of California by transferring the burden of care for prison releases from the state to the local communities. In response to this, the Fontana Police Department has recently started an AB 109 Support Team which will focus on providing resources to the newly released inmates with the goal of rehabilitation and a reduction in recidivism.

AB 109 release individuals need access to several resources including, but not limited to:
Workforce/Job Development, agencies willing to work with convicted felons, temporary
housing, food, medical benefits, drug abuse/alcohol counseling, and many more. It is imperative that these individuals be given access to these types of resources early on because delayed access can result in new crimes being committed and the failure of their reintegration into society.

We are going to hold orientation meetings every 2nd and 4th Monday of every month, from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM, where vendors and community assistance program personnel can send representatives to meet with this at risk population and provide their much needed services. The first meeting is going to be September 10th at 16779 Spring St in the City of Fontana.

Thank you in advance for your participation and willingness to provide services to these men and women who do desperately need your assistance.
