Abraham House
Abraham House, founded in 1993 by Rikers Island Catholic Prison Chaplains, is a grassroots organization located in the Mott Haven section of the South Bronx. Their mission is to break the cycle of incarceration by offering holistic programs and services for those involved in the criminal justice system, as well as youth and families affected by incarceration and other social factors such as poverty, violence, truancy, and a lack of quality education. Through their core programs, including an Alternative to Incarceration Program (ATI), an After School Program (ASP), and a Family and Pastoral Center (FPC), Abraham House provides a place of hope and community where lives can be rebuilt, families mended, and individuals receive the necessary tools to become productive citizens. They work with criminal justice involved nonviolent adults, re-entry populations, and youth to enhance educational and social development, combat the challenges faced by the community, and provide support and resources for families affected by incarceration and other social issues.Generated from the website
