John Howard Society of York Region

The John Howard Society of York Region provides rehabilitation and reintegration support to individuals involved with the criminal justice system across the GTA's northern region. The organization offers counselling, employment assistance, housing support, and life skills programming to help people rebuild their lives after incarceration or legal involvement. Working with adults, youth, and families, the society addresses root causes of crime by connecting clients with education and job training opportunities, mental health resources, and stable housing solutions. Based in Newmarket, the organization partners with institutions, employers, and community agencies to reduce recidivism and promote successful reintegration into society. Their programs serve individuals at various stages of the justice system, from those in custody to those on probation or parole, recognizing that support and opportunity significantly improve outcomes for returning citizens and their families.
