Economic Development

Through the building of economic mobility and stability for formerly incarcerated people, our project provides outreach, awareness, and visibility to the most marginalized and vulnerable populations in our nation. Systematically oppressed and denied opportunities for independence and generational wealth, formerly incarcerated people struggle to break free of the justice system often with little success. Witness initiative The MAP Project embraces cultural inclusivity and the advancement of FIP-led services and businesses through promotion, advocacy, and storytelling.
