Wilmington Hope Commission

The Wilmington HOPE Commission (WHC), is Delaware’s premier correctional re-entry program, providing comprehensive re-entry support services that target crime-causing factors, shown to be predictors of recidivism, for formerly incarcerated high-risk men leaving prison and returning to Wilmington’s most distressed communities.

It is founded on research-informed solutions (and using qualified professionals and agency partners), WHC provides rehabilitative treatment services and programs designed to promote successful re-entry through – risk and needs assessments, cognitive behavioral therapies, vocational readiness training, educational and peer support, behavioral health services and family-reunification programs – to reduce recidivism and improve safety in the Wilmington community. Participants (i.e. members) are provided convenient access to the services essential to successful community reintegration – all under one roof.
