COMMUNITY CORRECTIONS

Halfway House, Community Residential Center, Treatment Transfer & Electronic Monitoring

Our Community Corrections Program is by far the largest HLC program with approximately 400 clients, The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction licenses Harbor Light to supervise the effective transition of both male and female ex-offenders from penal institutions back into the community.

Upon completion of the orientation period, caseworkers monitor a client’s progress within the program and assist with securing such things as a GED, vocational training, referrals to community agencies/services and gainful employment.

HLC’s Community Residential Center (CRC) serves as a residence facility for a number of different classes of offenders, most of whom are low-need individuals and pose low to medium risk to reoffend. CRCs are generally intended as an alternative to confinement for persons not suited for probation or for those who need a period of readjustment to the community after imprisonment. It can be argued that CRCs are more humane than prisons and can serve to lessen the deprivations of incarceration. 

Clients in the Treatment Transfer program are given the opportunity to address the multifaceted challenges of addiction and recidivism through participation in cognitive behavior remediation sessions, music therapy classes, AA meetings, discussion groups, life skills workshops and optional faith-based programming.

Electronic Monitoring affords clients the ability to reside at an approved location outside of HLC while maintaining employment and reporting to their Probation Officer. HLC is currently monitoring over 100 individuals.

Depending on the program a client is in, their involvement is between 43 days and one (1) year.
