🎙️ Exciting news! Last Tuesday, Julius Irving and Kelly Lynch sat down with Ilene Silverman to chat about the impactful work we’re doing here at Community Spring.
We had a wonderful time sharing our mission, and we can't wait for you to hear it! Stay tuned. Our episode of The Ilene Silverman Show airs in just a couple of weeks! 🗓️✨
1 in 3 Americans has a criminal record. That's over 80 million of our friends and neighbors. Yet, they face nearly 44,000 legal restrictions that block access to housing, jobs, education, and more.
April is Second Chance Month, a time to focus on breaking these barriers. In honor of this, our Director of Guaranteed Income, Kevin Scott, joined the True Crime Tonight Podcast on April 24th. He discussed how Community Spring is ending the cycle of poverty and incarceration that so many people get trapped in.

Commissary prices in Florida jails and prisons don’t just strain incarcerated people, it strains their families and loved ones, often already living under the poverty line.
When commissary prices go unchecked, incarcerated people and their families become a captive marketplace for exploitation. Commissary markups perpetuate cycles of poverty, debt and instability.
Through his fellowship at Community Spring, Chris Perry is digging into real solutions to this issue here in Alachua county. Discover what this work could mean for our communities in his new blog.
