JOHN HOWARD SOCIETY OF DURHAM REGION

The John Howard Society of Durham Region provides support and advocacy for individuals involved in or at risk of entering the criminal justice system across Oshawa and the surrounding area. The organization delivers counseling, employment assistance, housing support, and reintegration programs to help people rebuild their lives after incarceration or justice involvement. Staff work with clients to address underlying issues such as addiction, mental health challenges, and lack of education or job skills that may contribute to criminal behavior. The society also operates community programs aimed at crime prevention and reducing recidivism. By connecting people with practical resources and mentorship, the organization helps individuals transition to stable employment and housing while reducing barriers to successful reintegration in the GTA.
