Building Healthier & Safer Communities

Amity Foundation is focused on improving public health and safety by providing housing, employment, education, and behavioral health services to justice-involved people on their journey to recovery and re-entry.

True public safety and community health comes from helping people reconnect by providing the services our students need.

Everyone deserves a second chance — to rebuild their relationship with themselves, with their loved ones, and to their sense of purpose. By providing the opportunities our students need to succeed, and fighting for investments in proven alternatives to incarceration — Amity Foundation is focused on creating the right conditions for healing, accountability, and safer, more compassionate communities.

Behind & Beyond Prison Walls

Whether through prevention, pre arrest, homelessness, in jail, during probation or on parole, Amity is able to reach out and help students. 

While living on campuses in Arizona and California, people begin to work to reclaim their heritage and personal history in order to reconcile their past. 

Within prisons, In-Prison Treatment Readiness methods help prepare for reintegration into communities, with the goal of returning people from number to name.
