Coming home after incarceration presents challenges that don't end at the prison gates. Finding a safe place to sleep, putting food on the table, and navigating assistance programs can become immediate obstacles to rebuilding a stable life.

​

Legacy Reentry Foundation connects returning citizens and their families with community organizations throughout Lake County, Illinois, offering emergency shelter, affordable housing assistance, food pantries, and other essential services.

​

While Legacy does not directly provide housing or food assistance, we help individuals identify available resources and find a place to begin.
