Our work
Connection is infrastructure.
We turn a clear reentry need into practical action: devices, direct research, and resource access.

Bridge Phones
We fundraise for, source, test, clean, and sponsor smartphones that go directly to GOSO reentry participants. Each device is connective tissue: a line to family, case management, housing, benefits, transit, and work.
Next: launch a community hardware drive and grow toward 50 devices served in FY 2027.
100+ people surveyed
Field Research
Our team gathered direct input from justice-involved New Yorkers at Rikers Island to understand the technology and social-support gaps people face immediately after release.
Next: publish a concise findings summary and use it to guide device distribution and partner outreach.
100+ books donated
Resource Access
Resource Access now means two things: our searchable database of hundreds of independently verified reentry services across NYC, and hands-on support like the books we've donated with GOSO to the Rikers Island library, expanding access to knowledge, self-help, and preparation for release.
Next: keep growing the database's coverage and document requested titles for a repeatable community collection cycle.
