John Howard Society of the Kawartha's

Purpose

With this funding, John Howard Society of Peterborough will expand and administer record suspension application support services through a regional partnership with the John Howard Society of Durham and the John Howard Society of Kawartha Lakes. The project will focus on increasing awareness of record suspension opportunities and assisting individuals with criminal records in navigating the complex application process. By addressing financial, administrative, and systemic barriers faced by marginalized and underprivileged individuals (including Black, Indigenous, and people of colour) the project aims to improve access to record suspensions and support successful reintegration through increased access to employment, housing, education, and community supports.
