I need resources

I'm looking for resources for my brother who has been locked up for 6 years he is 30. He needs a place to stay and I'm looking in the area and have no idea where to start where to look if anyone knows anything or anyone please help me out. I don't care if it's out of state I need resources so bad.

Is he Muslim?

@Lynn yes

Look into IMAN Atlanta Also, look into reentry programs. My husband was fortunate to go to a GDC reentry program. If you are able to house him, he can join a union (pipefitters, electrician, plumbing) and get placed with a job.

@Lynn so with that program.. do they house them (GDC)

It is a lot trying to house him with me because my husband and I are not on the same page with that right now. I'm already taking in a sibling and two kids

Yes! But it’s not nearly enough spots for every inmate to go before going home. I was on the phone with his counselor almost every week. He is currently at a transitional center. He goes to work and once he is released, they will issue him a check for the wages he has worked.

You are doing a lot! Sometimes it is extremely hard. You have to release whatever guilt you are feeling and do what’s best for you. I had an additional child that I took in after my mother in law passed and I had to make a difficult decision. I am borderline preeclampsia and I couldn’t take the risk of the extra stress. I will look for some other resources.

Thank you so much. And I pray all goes well on your end as well. Yeah it's crazy because I just feel like my family is stressing me and is not fun. like I want to help all of them but it's too many of them I have have four siblings that need help five that need help but one don't really want help the other four does Plus one of my parents. I already live with my husband and four children and it is like everyone wants to bunk it here. But what they are not realizing is I have to go through my husband. It's crazy
