On September 21, 2006, the Board of County Commissioners approved funding to initiate partnerships with the cities to implement the Youth Violence Prevention Project. Out of this partnership the Justice Service Center was established in Riviera Beach. The Justice Service Center is a Reentry program providing service to ex-offenders returning to the community. These services include: job readiness training, educational assistance, bus passes, expunge/sealing of records, restoration of civil rights, identification assistance, transitional housing and other support services as needed. The Center opened in February 2007 with the goal of “Empowering Communities through Restoration”. The program focuses on promoting community growth and alleviating the burden of recidivism on the Riviera Beach community and Palm Beach County at large. As of October 2015, the County’s Reentry program has moved from the Criminal Justice Commission to the Palm Beach County Public Safety department. The funding amount of $ ($227,942) will provide for three (3) full-time case managers and one (1) program director to administer reentry services to clients in the community.
