What Is the ACC=SS App?
ACC=SS (Active Community Connections = Safe Solutions), is a web and mobile app that closes the gap between community-based direct service and resource providers and individuals facing systemic barriers, especially those who are justice-impacted, veterans, marginalized or experiencing transitions.
The app allows users to:
Choose the services they need, such as housing, food, therapy, support groups, legal aid, employment, childcare, and more
No more digging through outdated websites, no more unanswered voicemails or emails to nowhere. ACC=SS gives people a clear, fast path to the help they need.

We Are I.T. LLC Created ACC=SS Because Finding Help Shouldn't Feel Like Starting Over
When RestoreHER’s founder Pamela Winn came home from incarceration, she had lost everything! She’d lost her home, her job, her nursing license, her transportation, and her health insurance among other needs. She quickly realized what so many others do, that most people returning home lack access to the basic services and support systems needed to rebuild their lives. Without these critical resources, people are more likely to experience homelessness, unemployment, hunger and recidivism.
Restoration starts with connection. RestoreHER believes finding help shouldn't depend on who you know or what you can afford. We Are I.T. believes stability should not be out of reach. RestoreHER partnered with We Are I.T. to address this critical gap. We Are I.T. built ACC=SS, a mobile app that puts reentry resources and wraparound services directly into the hands of the people who need them most.
