Safer Foundation, a nonprofit social impact organization based in Chicago, Illinois, was founded in 1972. Its mission is to reduce recidivism by supporting, though a full spectrum of services, and advocacy, the efforts of people with arrest and conviction records to become employed, law-abiding members of the community. If people with records are provided with direct service support focused on job preparedness and placement, and are also linked to other critical supportive services their reentry challenges will be addressed and, as a result, their likelihood to recidivate (return to prison) will be reduced. Safer's evidence-based programs are geared toward addressing barriers that impede employment and providing services that support clients' abilities to successfully acclimate into society.
