BUILDING PEOPLE, NOT PRISONS.
We believe in the power of people to change. We help individuals with justice involvement rebuild their lives, through innovative services and advocacy.
TRANSFORMING LIVES AND ADVANCING SYSTEMIC CHANGE.
We employ a “one-stop-shop” model of service provision, offering in-house services to over 8,000 individuals with justice involvement and advocate for alternatives to incarceration.
GET INVOLVED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
You can help promote successful reentry from incarceration and promote a fair, humane, and truly rehabilitative justice system.
The Fortune Society’s mission is to support successful reentry from incarceration and promote alternatives to incarceration, thus strengthening the fabric of our communities.

"The #BuildBackBetter Act would make historic investments in affordable housing. Please, for sake of... humanity, pass it so do others don’t have to go through what I went through in my life." @homeless_hero at @RepRitchie press conference re: need for full housing funding in BBB.
"As a nation, we have a once-in a lifetime chance, to turn the tide on steadily increasing ... homelessness by investing in the NHTF & Rental Assistance. We cannot Build Back Better - or at all - w/o this significant housing investment." @LauraMascuch at @RepRitchie press conference.
Looking forward to serving as a panelist tomorrow for the @IIP_JohnJay panel on Prosecution, Drug ... Use & Public Health with @DanSatterberg, Andre Ward of @thefortunesoc, David Cloud of @AmendatUCSF, and IIP Dep. Dir. & moderator Alissa Heydari.
