Project FIRST is a program to provide housing and supportive services to HIV+ men and women recently released from prison. These services are designed to help individuals return to their communities, find a permanent home, and receive care as needed to remain healthy. Additional services include assistance with daily living skills, accessing benefits, advocacy, socialization and referrals to educational and vocational training. Since 2003, this program has had a 10% recidivism rate, in comparison to the national average of over 40%.
