PITTSFIELD — Second Street Second Chances, a proposed initiative to support formerly incarcerated people in the county, received a state grant for $240,000 on Thursday.
Berkshire Community College plans to start the program, according to the grant’s website, as “a one-stop facility that will offer comprehensive wrap-around support services, case-management, and workforce training opportunities to formerly incarcerated individuals in order to reduce rates of recidivism in Berkshire County.”
