Liberty County Reentry Coalition

What it reported doing in 2025

We offer support, opportunity, advocacy, and resources through evidence-based reentry programming, interventions, and collaborations with partners who are committed to mitigating/removing barriers to reentry. Our mission is to promote public safety, reduce recidivism, and help people reach their human potential. The Liberty County Re-Entry Coalition's SOAR Re-Entry Center is the hub for community-based reentry services. Our program, with support from the Liberty County Board of Commission, the City of Hinesville, and collaboration with numerous community agencies, provides direct services and linkages to wrap-around services. SOAR is a modern facility set up for in-house services with a lounge, beverage, and snack station, training room, computer café, clothing closet, and comfortable amenities to welcome people home in a positive and warm atmosphere. We are intentional about how we present our 14-area focus program and how we truly help people access emergency shelter, housing, work, employment preparation, transportation, health care, counseling and other priority care for well-being and stability. Capacity building, partnerships, and knowledge of other providers are a strategic part of the work we do. We work to build consensus, create a culture of help, and provide a bridge for people to navigate barriers. Ongoing street and community outreach is a priority to prevent anyone from falling through the cracks. We engage with other like-minded communities to leverage support and connections through several nontraditional and creative pathways. We collaborate with the Georgia Justice Project, our city and county governments, sheriff and police chief, small businesses, corporations, WorkSource Coastal Job Center, courts, Diversity Health Center, local DCS, Drug Court, food pantry, Hinesville Veterans Administration Clinic, Family Connection, and numerous stakeholders. These relationships enable us to sustain our work and provide a plethora of services and resources to our clients impacted by the justice system.
