Description
FOLA is the longest-running organization of its kind to provide re-entry services for individuals, families, and children impacted by the criminal justice system. Our programs and services results in strengthened families, reduced crime, and improved life trajectories for the children in these families. Its threefold budgetary and programmatic growth since 2011 reflects not only the need for its services but also the organization’s potential.
