Free Tax Preperation
If you make $50,000 or less you could qualify for free tax preparation.
All returns prepared through a VITA Tax Prep site are done at no charge. As many VITA sites are located near paid tax preparers, before you sit down to have them prepare your tax return, always ask, “Is this a VITA site? Is there any charge for preparing my federal and state forms?” If there is a charge quoted, leave immediately and contact 2-1-1 to verify the address of the VITA site.

Community Reentry Program
In cooperation with the Division of Adult Parole Operations, we would like to introduce you to resources available to assist you to successfully re-enter your community. The Division has created a program called PACT (Parole and Community Team) which is designed to connect you with agencies that are interested in working with you and who understand your special needs.
To connect you with interested agencies, PACT sponsors hold monthly meetings upon your release from prison and can provide you with a Community Resource Handbook which is a printed directory of interested agencies and services. Contact information for these agencies have been incorporated into this website.
Special recognition and thanks is due to Jesus Alvarez of the Salinas Parole Office-PACT who created the Directory with financial support from Seventh Step Foundation, Inc.
