Brand 316 shares, "A friend that was just released stated that 'My wife spoke to 65 landlords before we got our apartment because I’m a felon.' That is ridiculous. He spent his time inside focused on bettering himself and did just that – working full time and doing everything right. The issue is widespread and our first step to immediately help is that we are asking anyone who knows of second-chance landlords, apartment communities, or employers to share that information at https://brand316.org/second-chance-resources."
