Welcome to Helping Arms. We are a not-for-profit, community-based organization founded in 1998 to provide counseling, employment placement services, housing and other social services to low income people.  In 2009, Helping Arms, Inc. was awarded funding through the U.S. Department of Labor to operate a prison reentry initiative in the City of Trenton, New Jersey.  We collaborate with a number of community organizations to provide transitional support services to adult offenders, 18 years of age and older, who have been convicted and incarcerated as an adult and who are returning to the greater Trenton area.
