Post-Release REsources

Get Support after release

Our Post-Release Team can help connect you with the support you need after release. Staff meet with Minnesota Freedom Fund clients on a voluntary basis, assess your needs, and connect you with existing resources and services. Post-Release staff also provide court reminders to all clients receiving bail support.

If you are a Minnesota Freedom Fund client seeking support from our Post-Release Team, please contact brandon@mnfreedomfund.org.

Our Approach

Post-Release staff have backgrounds working with people experiencing mental health and chemical dependency issues, and they support our clients through a harm reduction, trauma informed, and housing first lens.

We work with many clients who are looking for support in areas like housing, legal services, employment, education, mental health and chemical dependency, healthcare, food and clothing, transportation, hygiene and personal needs, technology access, and family and community support.

Based on clients’ needs, our team suggests resources that are person-centered, as well as culturally and gender-responsive based on the clients’ backgrounds and experiences. We help clients complete necessary steps and paperwork to complete referral processes. In some instances, staff coordinate between treatment centers and jails to arrange for clients to receive treatment immediately upon release.
