Approximately ninety percent of those men and women who were incarcerated are released after their sentence is served and return home.  There are many barriers and obstacles for those returning home.  The stigma of a criminal conviction, the feeling of hopelessness, and not knowing where to go or who to turn to for answers are real dilemmas that these folks face.  Nate Johnson was one of those individuals.  He turned that negative into a positive by co-founding Fresh Coast Alliance.  In this podcast, you will learn about Nate's journey, which now encompasses a large non-profit offering housing and support to those returning home who want to make a positive change in their lives and in their community.
