On August 1, 2017, we held the Grand Opening of our newest field site at 2101 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave SE. This state-of-the-art facility is located less than half a mile from our old Anacostia field site and a bit closer to the Anacostia Metro Station.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton, Councilmember Anita Bonds, Judge Milton Lee, and Reverend Ronald Miles joined Director Nancy Ware, Deputy Director James Berry, and Associate Director Cedric Hendricks in welcoming guests to our new location. After remarks and the ribbon cutting ceremony, guests were invited to tour the facility and learn about the innovative supervision activities that would occur inside.

Community partners, successful justice-involved individuals, and CSOSA staff were stationed around the building to provide greater insight as to how the spaces could be used to further our mission of effective supervision, thereby enhancing public safety in the District of Columbia.

    Mounting research indicates that there are significant benefits for our communities in helping men and women that have been in prison, jail, or on probation find employment.

    Unfortunately, some employers remain reticent to hiring someone who is or has been involved in the justice system, as evidenced by the need for laws such as Ban the Box, which, among other things, makes it illegal for an employer to inquire about criminal history prior to making a conditional offer of employment. In the District’s highly competitive and saturated job market, gainful employment remains an intractable challenge. For some, it is further compounded by the additional challenges posed by their history of involvement with the justice system.
