“The hardest part isn’t the work itself. It’s getting someone to believe in me enough to give me a chance.”
This new report from Derrell Frazier centers the voices of 35 justice-involved young adults in Maryland to identify barriers they face in workforce re-entry, and develops policy recommendations to dismantle systemic obstacles to employment and economic stability.
In Maryland, 70 percent of collateral consequences for convictions are employment-related, with 33 percent being mandatory prohibitions that bar employment and 67 percent lasting indefinitely. This analysis offers concrete policy solutions to build pathways that work.

U.S. schools are more segregated by race and class today than at any point since the 1980s. Mayor-elect @ZohranKMamdani may soon address that in the country’s largest school district.

There are no streamlined job platforms in the state where people can find all information in one place, in multiple languages. Creating a uniform, easily accessible job platform is an easy and efficient way to support access to housing.

TLDR; temporary housing like shelters are more costly, unsustainable, and inadequate for supporting asylum seekers and all NYers experiencing homelessness. The state can implement better permanent housing pathways and employment platforms to increase housing access.

NYC youth aging out foster care deserve so much more. They shouldn’t be placed in buildings with 200 violations and restricted to neighborhoods with few opportunities.

ALT Pull quote from Cheyanne Deopersaud’s interview with Jeremy Kohomban: “The system believes that young people in foster care should be happy with whatever we give them...We haven’t raised our collective consciousness. We don’t ask hard enough questions.”

“Safe, supportive, resourced communities. That’s what young people in care deserve. Communities with resources have less crime—this is proven over and over.
Mental health services, job pathways, education—all of this matters.” –@CMRitaJoseph 🔗 go.tcf.org/nycyouth
