Where can a convicted felon find a job in Maryland?? Or look into housing?
According to a website, "Local Goodwill agencies have a variety of programs already in existence that serve the ex-offender population, providing help for housing, job training, substance abuse and health and mental health issues". Also, try truck driving and the self-employment assistance available in New Jersey. Truck drivers make good money and it is possible to do local runs and violate your probation or parole. The New Jersey self-employment assistance program allow you to get unemployment insurance while training to start a business. If you get a business license while on probation or parole it will keep you out of jail also, because you will be considered as employed.
