Consequences of Formerly Incarcerated FAQs
Stable housing is the foundation of successful reentry from prison. Unfortunately, as our data show, many formerly incarcerated people struggle to find stable places to live. Discrimination by public housing authorities and private property owners, combined with affordable housing shortages, continues to drive the exclusion of formerly incarcerated people from the housing market.
The primary goal of a UHalfway101 is to transition formerly incarcerated to independence and recovering addicts from a life of substance abuse to living as a responsible member of society.
Formerly Incarcerated - Nowhere To Go
Mental Healthcare - Incarceration
There are about 1.2 million individuals living with mental illness that sit in county jails and private and state funded prisons each year. Often their involvement with the criminal justice system begins with low-level offenses like jaywalking, disorderly conduct, or trespassing.
States with the least amount of access to mental health care have more adults who are in the criminal justice system. Six out of 10 of states with the least access to mental health care also have the highest rates of incarceration.
These states include: Alabama; Arkansas; Mississippi; Texas; Georgia; and Florida

Drug Abuse Statistics
US Problem Areas
Drug abuse has a long and storied history in the United States, and we’ve been “at war” with it since 1971 under the Nixon administration. Yet despite the country’s best efforts to fight it, the problem is getting worse, and is exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. There were over 88,000 drug overdose deaths in 2020, up around 27% from the previous year. In an effort to help bring these numbers down, the government included $4 billion for substance use and mental health programs in the American Rescue Plan stimulus.
Given the uncertain future and lack of significant progress to date, it’s fair to wonder where drug abuse is most pronounced and which areas are most at risk. This report attempts to answer those questions by comparing the 50 states and the District of Columbia across 21 key metrics, ranging from arrest and overdose rates to opioid prescriptions and employee drug testing laws.

Let's End Homelessness
Homeless Statistics
Homeless services do not have enough resources to provide the great need of those who are experiencing homelessness. When you think about it, anytime a disease or worldwide virus threat also takes a toll on health and economic crisis throughout America and not to mention worldwide.
As mentioned in HUD’s Annual Point-in-Time Count, seventeen out of every 10,000 are experiencing homelessness.
Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR)
The Annual Homeless Assessment Report (AHAR) is a report to the U.S. Congress on homelessness in America. The report is prepared by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and provides nationwide estimates of homelessness, including information about the demographic characteristics of homeless persons, service use patterns, and the capacity to house homeless persons. The report is based primarily on Homeless Management Information Systems (HMIS) data about persons who experience homelessness during a 12-month period.
PIT Count and HIC Data and Reports
HUD provides PIT count reports of sheltered and unsheltered persons experiencing homelessness, by household type and subpopulation. This data is available at the national and state level, and for each CoC. HUD also provides HIC reports, which provide a snapshot of a CoC’s inventory of beds and units available on the night designated for the count by program type, and include beds dedicated to serve persons who are homeless as well as persons in Permanent Supportive Housing
