Before he came to Skagit County Community Court, Laurence had spent 10+ years stuck in the revolving door of the criminal justice system. He had lost contact with family members and was living on the street.
“…The Community Court process is not for the faint of heart you definitely need to be ready for a life change and I was. It was a lot of hard work but as long as you are willing the people at community court truly care and want you to succeed. … I had been homeless for the last 10 years and when I started this journey I was totally broken… I live in a New Earth recovery house that I am the assistant manager of… this was all possible because they believed in me.”
