A dialogue with Ashoka Fellow Annys Darkwa about her work at Vision Housing Consulting Services, a non profit with a mission to prevent ex-offenders from re-offending upon their release from prison. Based at this time in the United Kingdom, Vision Housing helps clients find suitable, sustainable accommodation and support, including benefits, rehabilitation, training and employment. Vision Housing has housed over 550 people and lowered their re-offending rate to between 10-15%.
