CJRC received a contract in December 2016 as the Intermediary Agency to coordinate the creation of the Local Reentry Council.  CJRC was a natural pick to further this role for several reasons:

1. Due to the relationship with the Department of Public Safety (DPS) and

2. Because of the reentry work they have done over the past 10 years. 

The contract included staff members: Karen Shaw as a full time LRC Coordinator, a Job Placement Specialist which is Demetrius Lynn and Lourdes Garcia who works with the LRC (PT loaner from the CJRC) as Case Manager.
