About this organization
Mission
The Fortune Society's mission is to support successful re-entry from prison and promote alternatives to incarceration, thus strengthening the fabric of our communities. We do this by: believing in the power of individuals to change, building lives through service programs shaped by the needs and experience of our clients, and changing minds through education and advocacy that work to rectify unjust and brutal criminal justice policies.
About
Housing: Our housing programs empower homeless, formerly incarcerated individuals and their families with the opportunity to build better futures through stable and affordable housing. By providing low-threshold access to supportive emergency and transitional housing at the Fortune Academy ('The Castle'), supportive permanent housing at Castle Gardens and through our scatter-site housing program, we meet both the immediate and long-term needs of our clients. Participating clients are able to take the first steps on their journey towards becoming positive, self-sufficient members of society with the full support of Fortune's reentry services. In FY2019, we served 185 scattered-site clients, 161 clients at the Fortune Academy, and 52 active supportive housing clients at Castle Gardens. Most clients leaving our transitional housing went on to successful permanent housing in the community while continuing to engage in the array of support services offered. Additionally, we provided safe affordable housing for 63 community resident households at our Castle Gardens site.
