Clearinghouse (NCSC). This Clearinghouse will provide information to organizations that serve those individuals in overcoming the negative impacts of juvenile and criminal records. The Clearinghouse will: 1) launch and gather content for hosting on a national website that provides state-by-state information on sealing, expungement, and other related legal services that lessen the negative impact of having juvenile and criminal records; and 2) develop tools and provide technical assistance to reentry service providers such as advocacy groups and legal aid organizations on how to use and expand access to sealing, expungement, and other reentry legal services to legal aid organizations and reentry service providers. The Clearinghouse will disseminate information in the area of record sealing and expungement, pardons, certificates of rehabilitation, correcting inaccurate juvenile and criminal records and other strategies to diminish the often lifelong economic and social consequences associated with having a juvenile or criminal record.

In addition, the Clearinghouse will provide guidance on the removal of other employment barriers that do not provide a public safety benefit, such as driver’s license restrictions that have a negative impact on employment opportunities.
