The Francisco Homes provides holistic reentry support services and transitional housing for formerly incarcerated "lifers" on parole. Our homes are located in South Los Angeles. Our work is Faith-inspired and infused with Hope & Love. These spiritual gifts provide the cornerstone for all that we do and are the reason we maintain a less than one percent recidivism rate.MISSION & VISIONThe Francisco Homes offers hope and multi-faceted, holistic support to formerly incarcerated individuals aspiring to re-integrate back into the community. Guided by faith-inspired principles, The Francisco Homes encourages our community to acknowledge the worth and dignity in all people, opening the door of opportunity for conciliation and healing; building a society in which the re-entry process becomes restorative.WHO WE SERVEWe serve men on parole from long-term incarceration, mostly life sentences. Without guaranteed housing, they would be forced to remain in prison. And since we do not place a maximum time for men to live in our community (the average stay is 14 months), our residents are not at risk for homelessness which happens all too often. Residents come from a wide range of backgrounds, ethnicities and religious affiliations. The average age is 54 and ranges from early 30's to late 80's. Their average time incarcerated is 28 years. Some of our residents have been in prison for over four decades.
