Expunge Assist builds digital tools that help people in California clear their past criminal records.
Expunge Assist (formerly known as The Record Clearance Project) was initially created as a response to criminal justice reform, specifically clean slate legislation, such as Prop 47 and Prop 64. Clean slate laws have opened up pathways for clearing non-violent and non-serious convictions through a process known as expungement.
Expunge Assist offers technological solutions to facilitate expungement, addressing government and non-profit partner needs in a changing legal and criminal justice landscape.
Old records can show up on commercial background checks, even when a person has completed probation or served time. Clearing a past arrest or earlier conviction can help remove discriminatory barriers to getting a job, housing, and educational opportunities. Most misdemeanors and felonies are now eligible for expungement. Our goal is to make that process for Californians easier.
