[Register Here!] About the Event Public safety conversations often focus on police, courts, and incarceration. This forum will look at another major part of the system: what happens when people are returning to the community from prison, on probation or supervision, and working to get back on their feet. Join City Club’s Health and Public Safety Committee for a forum on the role of community supervision and transitional support in Multnomah County’s public safety system. The conversation will feature Denise Peña, Director of Multnomah County’s Department of Community Justice, and Hannah Kenney, Senior Programs Director at Bridges to Change. Together, they will explore how supervision, housing, treatment, peer support, culturally responsive programming, and reentry services can support people beyond incarceration and contribute to long-term community safety. About the Speakers Denise Peña is the Director of Multnomah County’s Department of Community Justice, which provides supervision and services for justice-involved adults, youth, families, and victims.

Hannah Kenney is the Senior Programs Director at Bridges to Change, where she oversees housing and program operations across Multnomah, Clackamas, Washington, and Wasco counties.
