The Center for Community Alternatives is a non-profit agency that promotes reintegrative justice and a reduced reliance on incarceration through advocacy, services, and public policy development in pursuit of civil and human rights. CCA has developed exemplary and groundbreaking programs for justice-involved adults, young people, and "at-risk"​ youth. While these programs serve diverse populations, they share:• A philosophy of unconditional care and commitment to clients served;• A methodology which works with clients directly in their homes and communities; and • The goal of demonstrating the connection between alternatives to incarceration and public safety.With offices in Brooklyn, Syracuse, and Rochester, New York, CCA is uniquely situated to demonstrate models that can work in distinct communities. The starting point for most of CCA's work is an individualized, advocacy-oriented plan ("client-specific planning"​) that addresses the needs of each client we serve—whether these concern recovery from addiction, preventing the spread of HIV and AIDS, family reunification, completing educational goals, or gaining and sustaining work. Justice Strategies is the research, training, public advocacy, and policy division of CCA. All of CCA's work is intended to build healthy individuals and communities, and to prevent the destructive cycle of crime and incarceration.
