Who we are: Albany Works! is an extension of the Municipal Court through which individuals are linked to community resources and services on their “pathway to self-sufficiency”.

 What we do: We assist people who have received tickets by partnering with court staff and community partners to address issues of education, mental health, addiction, housing, employment, job training, and more.

 Who we help: We help people, ages 18-40, with open cases in The City of Albany Municipal Court system. These individuals may be unemployed, under employed, may not have a high school diploma or GED, and/or be veterans.

 Why: To allow the court to assume more of a problem-solving role in the life of the community impacting the rate of case recidivism; the court seeks to offer meaningful alternatives to incarceration and steep fines while also holding people accountable for their actions.

 How we do it: We partner with several agencies including city, state, federal, legal services, non-profit organizations, and many more to access resources crucial to the public’s success.
