The court also assists participants with reclamation of identifying documents, and reconnection of community resources to include medical, vision, dental and mental health providers, education, employment and/or retirement/disability resources. The court encourages its participant to be of service to the community, by gaining financial and housing stability, along with reconnection to family and positive support systems.

The court welcomes members of the community to come celebrate their accomplishments.
