With rates of recidivism as high as 70% in some parts of Los Angeles, Project 180 is turning lives around through comprehensive diversion and re-entry programs for Angelenos involved in the criminal justice system. Providing a “one stop shop” approach, Project 180 provides the services needed to address the complex and deep-rooted issues that have placed, and keep, people in the criminal justice system.
With practical solutions, tailor-made programs, and compassionate care, Project 180 keeps people out of the system and in their communities.
