Reentry Assistance

Welcome to the Franklin County Reentry Advisory Board Website

The FC-RAB is charged with creating safer neighborhoods and more productive residents by increasing the success rates of residents transitioning from correctional and rehabilitative institutions back into the community. We hope the resources listed on this page are a valuable resource toward achieving that vision.
