Congrats to the graduates of the re-entry program at Change on Hamilton! This partnership began in 2025 and it's been remarkable to witness the impact of the two case managers and certified recovery specialists our office funded (with non-taxpayer money.)

Today’s Pathway to Change Reentry Program graduation ceremony was an incredibly special afternoon.💚

Thank you for the vulnerability, courage, and inspiration you shared with staff, family, and community members during today’s celebration. Your stories are a powerful reminder of the strength it takes to embrace change and the possibilities that lie ahead.

We are so proud to have been a part of your journeys and wish each of you a lifetime of happiness, success, and new opportunities.

No matter where life takes you, you will always be a part of our community at Change on Hamilton. 💜

In the press:

In November, Holihan started an initiative to address the number of K2 overdoses happening in Center City. Persistent disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor punishable by jail time, is charged for individuals that repeatedly overdose on K2.

K2 users who get arrested and take advantage of drug treatment offered at the jail can have their charges dismissed. More details in the article below.

Lehigh County DA Gavin Holihan says he’s trying to solve Allentown’s K2 problem by putting users in jail, where they can get treatment. Critics say that violates their rights and unfairly targets people struggling with addiction. https://mrf.lu/2g10K
