FLIP — Reintegration Stream
Rebuilding life after incarceration or institutional placement requires more than motivation — it requires structured support, accountability, and practical knowledge.
Individuals transitioning from:
- Correctional institutions

Often face compounded challenges, including limited employment opportunities, financial instability, and stigma.
This stream of FLIP was developed to provide foundational financial tools that support long-term reintegration.
