Recognizing that many individuals become homeless due to their criminal records, physical or mental health challenges, or recurring problematic behaviors, TFC provides therapy and career exploration to break the cycle of criminality and trauma. They focus on intervening early in the lives of at-risk young adults and adults vulnerable to crime and homelessness, but their services are not limited to any age group.
