The challenge
Low-income Americans with criminal records struggle to access jobs, housing, and financial services that enable wealth building and financial health. While millions of Americans are eligible for record expungement, fewer than 10% of eligible individuals complete the complicated and costly expungement process.
The innovation
Rasa Legal provides a simple and affordable path for low-income Americans to clear their criminal records. A clean record gives formerly incarcerated and other justice-involved individuals better opportunities to move forward with their lives, fully contribute to the economy and their communities, and realize their full potential. As a committed second-chance employer, Rasa is also building intentional hiring practices that will allow the company to provide additional support to its clients and connect them to job opportunities and other reentry resources.
