Chosen 2 Help is the one-stop resource center for people leaving jail or prison. Jobs, housing, IDs, health insurance, family services. Everything you need to rebuild, in one place.
Browse Resources →You walk out with a bus ticket and a plastic bag. No ID. No address. No idea where to start. The system that locked you up doesn't hand you a map on the way out.
Resources exist, but they're buried across dozens of government websites, nonprofit offices, and paper flyers. By the time you find them, you've already fallen through the cracks. Chosen 2 Help changes that.

How It Works
Select Columbus, Ohio or your county. We show you resources that are actually near you, not a national directory you have to filter through.
Jobs, housing, ID, health insurance, family services, legal help. Tap a category and see real listings with addresses, phone numbers, and eligibility info.
Each listing tells you exactly what to do next: who to call, what to bring, and what to expect. No more guessing.
Not just the words. The actual tools, directions, and connections to rebuild a life. That's what Chosen 2 Help is building, starting in Columbus, Ohio.
