What we do
The Office of Reentry Partnerships (ORP) was formed in August 2019 to elevate and organize citywide reentry efforts and support the Kenney administration’s goals for criminal justice reform, violence prevention, and community reinvestment.
ORP’s mission is to empower returning citizens, partner organizations, and the public to interrupt cycles of harm and build thriving communities. As Philadelphia’s hub for reentry referrals, resources, and training, the goals of the Office of Reentry Partnerships are to:
- Set a clear vision and direction for a measurable citywide approach to improving reentry outcomes.
- Drive and sustain an unprecedented level of coordination between the local government, other government partners, service providers, education and training programs, employers, and community members.
- Ensure that City reentry initiatives are research- and data-driven.
Examples of initiatives managed or staffed by the Office of Reentry Partnerships include the Philadelphia Reentry Coalition and Neighborhood Resource Centers.
