What is an RSS feed?
RSS, an acronym for "Really Simple Syndication,” is a way for websites to distribute
content updates to users. RSS updates, or “feeds,” are delivered through an RSS reader,
which can be part of your web browser or can be installed on your computer. RSS content
can also be sent to personal webpages such as a Yahoo or iGoogle page.
How do I subscribe to a RSS feed?
To subscribe to an RSS feed, click on the RSS icon and then click on the Subscribe
link or button that will appear at the top of your browser page. If your preferred
browser does not allow you to subscribe to an RSS feed directly, you can download
and install a news reader. Many readers are available for free and can be easily
downloaded over the web.

Corporation For Supportive Housing
CSH works closely with a coalition of national organizations interested in criminal justice reform, and is a thought-leader and strong advocate for reducing recidivism by providing supportive housing for people re-entering communities and at high-risk of homelessness. Our efforts contributed to passage of the Second Chance Act (SCA) in April 2008, landmark legislation that provides federal funds to communities to design programs to reduce recidivism – including through housing. We have joined with our partners in successfully advocating for increased funding for Second Chance Act programs.
CSH is currently proposing legislation to build on the Second Chance Act by providing dedicated funding for jail in-reach, short and medium term rental subsidies and supportive services to provide supportive housing for people exiting the criminal justice system."
