Justice 4 Housing to Feature on The Balancing Act Local, Highlighting Housing Equity for Formerly Incarcerated

Justice 4 Housing, a Boston-based nonprofit dedicated to advocating for housing equity for formerly incarcerated individuals, is set to be featured on The Balancing Act Local, a community-focused edition of the nationally televised series The Balancing Act, airing on Lifetime TV. This segment aims to shed light on the challenges faced by formerly incarcerated individuals in securing housing and the work being done by Justice 4 Housing to address these issues.

The feature will air in the Greater Boston area on WFXT-FOX Boston on Saturday, June 28, 2025, at 12:30 PM EST and on WLVI-CW Boston on Sunday, June 29, 2025, at 1:00 PM EST. The Balancing Act Local is known for showcasing nonprofits and social initiatives that make a significant impact in their communities through innovation and service.

Founded by someone directly impacted by incarceration, Justice 4 Housing offers reentry support, housing placement, policy advocacy, and education to empower formerly incarcerated individuals and their families. Their Stable Housing & Reintegration Program is particularly noteworthy, providing immediate housing options and access to comprehensive services such as job placement, mental health support, and family reunification.

Leslie Credle, Founder & Executive Director of Justice 4 Housing, emphasized the natural emergence of the organization in response to a critical need. "Around 60% of the population in the state has been incarcerated for minor offenses and is now facing challenges in accessing housing," Credle said. This feature on The Balancing Act Local represents a significant opportunity to amplify the conversation around housing discrimination and the importance of stable housing for successful reentry into society.
