Locked out: The homelessness crisis of early release prisoners

1 Mins read

With thousands already struggling in hostels and homeless shelters, the release of prisoners into uncertain housing leaves many in a state of limbo. What next for already overstretched resources?

This precarious situation not only highlights systemic gaps in reintegration programs but also raises urgent questions about the lack of coordinated efforts to address housing insecurity for ex-offenders.

As shelters scramble to accommodate those in need, many former prisoners face heightened risks of falling into cycles of homelessness, reoffending, or mental health crises, underscoring the dire need for sustainable, long-term solutions.
