La Entrada de Los Angeles
New Beginnings for Women Returning Home
Our Approach
La Entrada is Amity’s first dedicated community campus for women that gives students the tools to break multigenerational cycles of substance abuse, trauma, and violence. Under the Female Community Reentry Program (FCRP), this 60-bed residential community provides whole-person services during the last 45 days to 2 years of the students’ sentence. At La Entrada, we help students with beginning to break the multigenerational cycles of substance abuse, trauma, and violence through family reunification, parenting workshops, meditation, and yoga.

“My life completely changed when I came home to Amity’s La Entrada campus. After being in prison for 12 years, I was worried about what was going to happen to me once I was released. Even though I accomplished many things in prison and received many certificates I was still concerned. Amity has given me the foundation to stand solid on. It has helped me grow into a strong, independent woman. I am able to truly be myself without fear or judgment. I am learning about myself and others. My road is coming to an end on this journey and I intend to continue to blossom with my newfound Amity family.”
