CPI Opens New Community Office

In January 2005, CPI moved its entire operation inside of the Travis State Jail. At the time, it was a strategic move to cut administrative cost & to be closer to its clients. Being a non-profit housed inside of a state jail facility has been a life saver & a blessing for CPI. Because of our in-kind donation of office space from TDCJ, we were able to bounce back from financial crisis, cut administrative expenses, and build a pre-release program. We plan to always have an office inside of any facility in which we provide major services.

However, when our clients return to the community and are struggling with life on the outside, there hasn’t been a place we can offer them counseling and case management. Other than our post-release group at the Trinity Center, we have been providing case management services and support out of the trunks of our cars and in fast food restaurants.

In January 2009, we found a wonderful home we have turned into an office! We got a great deal on rent in a very accessible area of town, and could not be more pleased with our new program center. This new space allows a place for our clients to come and search for jobs, talk to a case manager, or just get away from the pressures of trying to stay clean in their neighborhood.
