CRJ host Herbert Alexander and Remerg Executive Director Darren Smith welcome guest Darrell Dimler, Outreach and Program Coordinator at STEP Denver. Dimler shares how he came to STEP after years of substance use and felony probation, then outlines his outreach work connecting people to treatment centers, probation offices, shelters, and other community resources while helping residents secure IDs, vital documents, phones, resumes, and jobs. This conversation with Dimler highlights how employment and financial savings can build stability, and identifies key barriers like documentation, felony stigma, and technology.
