Public/Private Ventures


Just came across this amazing sounding organization- Public/Private Ventures.  Public/Private Ventures (P/PV) is a nonprofit organization that describes itself as "a national leader in creating and strengthening programs that improve lives in low-income communities."

One of their initiatives is: The Women's Reentry Initiative which was, "designed to provide women returning from incarceration with individually tailored, comprehensive and integrated services in areas believed to be crucial to successful reentry."

Thought this was an interesting use of the word, "design."
