Benny Webb, executive director of Reentry Alliance Pensacola, briefed the board on the group's reentry housing program. Webb said the organization now operates two houses (one for men and one for women), each with one remaining vacancy, and that the program's first graduate obtained a permanent full-time job after three months in the program.
"We have actually followed up a a couple of times since they left our program," Webb said, underscoring continued support for program graduates.
