Description
For over 10-years TFH has acted as a support system for the newly released. Residents average 30-years in prison and are released only after both the Board of Prison Terms, and the California Governor deems them "rehabilitated". Many are returning to a city they never lived, no family or friends. TFH is the only place they have to call home.
Formed in 2007 a project of Restorative Justice at Catholic Archdiocese of L.A. Given the name "The Francisco Homes", honoring St. Francis of Assisi in his ardent work for the poor and marginalized. Early, it became clear there was a desperate need for housing for the Long-Term Incarcerated. A different program, then the Sober-Living & Correctional-Therapeutic models, was needed. In 2009 TFH became its own entity & began accepting exclusively, "Lifer’s".
TFH mission is to teach, empower and guide individuals on their path to re-integration. To assist them in realizing their goals as free and contributing members of our community. TFH services are anchored in a Trauma-Informed, Relational, teaching model.
