Public Health Reentry Resource Page

The Public Health Reentry resource page provides links to health and living services information for ex-offender’s successful transition back into the San Diego Community. Many of the resources provided on this page are for reentrants and their families too.

This page is sponsored by Supervisor Ron Roberts and is a result of work of the San Diego Reentry Roundtable, San Diego Area Congregations for Change, County of San Diego Probation Department, and County of San Diego Health and Human Services Agency, Public Health Services.
