Housing Challenges Can Derail An Ex-Offender’s Return

Each year, more people go into Ohio's state prisons from Cuyahoga County than from any other county in the state.

And each year, hundreds more are released from prison; and come home to try to make a fresh start.

As Ideastream's Matt Richmond reports, ex-felons face many challenges by having criminal records -- including finidng jobs, but also find stable housing.

Richmond's reporting was also featured on 90.3 WCPN.
