This is one incredible website [all new] that provides lots of great information for persons with criminal records, HIV/AIDS, drug addiction, welfare, etc.... especially r/t employment and housing. Some of their info. is specific to NY but lots of it applies nation-wide! To obtain their free publications, go to their website and then click on "publications and videos". Then click on "free publications". You will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader to download and print their free publications. [You can download a free version of Acrobat Reader by going to www.adobe.com]

Here is their description of who they are....
"The Legal Action Center is the only non-profit law and policy organization in the United States whose sole mission is to fight discrimination against people with histories of addiction, HIV/AIDS, or criminal records, and to advocate for sound public policies in these areas."

That site is ABSOLUTELY GREAT EGS! Thank you so very very much!

hi

I emailed them and they told me that they do not get employment for ex offenders. They help with legal action you would need to take if someone DENIED your loved one a job.
I guess it would be great site for that issue.

Yes, Mrs. G., that is what I stated in the original post...never said they helped find ex-offenders jobs!!!

Mrs. G...
Sorry if I sounded like I was yelling...not yelling really...just a bit frustrated that the original post was [at least seemingly] misunderstood and then there is disappointment on your end b/c you did not recieve the assistance you were seeking.
My frustration has more to do with my own short-comings, not yours!
