The “Juvenile Reentry Assistance Program” – JRAP – helps people to stay in public housing by sealing past criminal or juvenile records for themselves or household members.
- Are you under 25, live in CMHA public housing or receive a Section 8 voucher through CMHA and have a criminal (adult or juvenile) record?
- Are you under 25, used to live in CMHA public housing or in a property with a Section 8 voucher through CMHA, and can no longer live with your family, who is still in that housing, because of a criminal (adult or juvenile) record?
- Do you live in CMHA public housing or receive a Section 8 voucher through CMHA and have a household member who is under 25 and has a criminal (adult or juvenile) record?
If you answered YES to any question, you may qualify for JRAP. Contact Legal Aid and ask to apply for JRAP. If you answered NO to all questions, you may still apply for help from Legal Aid.
