For Government Partners
Building Smarter Reentry Systems for Stronger Communities
Designing Public Systems that Improve Reentry, Employment, and Public Safety
CEO partners with state and local agencies to design, strengthen, and scale reentry workforce systems that connect people returning from incarceration to work, benefits, training, and long-term stability.
Our technical assistance helps government partners invest public dollars in evidence-based strategies that improve employment outcomes, strengthen communities, and support public safety.
Why Government Partnership Matters

Expand access to SNAP E&T and workforce funding
Strengthen reentry employment systems
Align workforce and benefits infrastructure
Improve coordination across agencies and providers
Support evidence-based workforce interventions
