Assisting formerly incarcerated women to achieve independence

Since 1974, the mission of Crossroads, Inc. is to provide housing, education, support, counseling, and employment readiness in a homelike environment for women who have been incarcerated and, are currently on parole or probation. We are a licensed residential substance use disorder treatment program. Crossroads is a leader in providing comprehensive reentry services for women.

Crossroads was the first program in California to provide services to women who had served life sentences. We also are the first program in Los Angeles County to be awarded a contract to serve women (ages 18-24) who are being released from juvenile facilities. Our primary goal is to support women in rebuilding their lives after incarceration. We have assisted hundreds of women making the transition from incarceration to independence.

Over 85% of women who stay at least three months at Crossroads successfully transition back to the community. They leave Crossroads having met all of the requirements for Parole or Probation, some have college degrees, jobs, finish their GEDs, bank accounts, IDs, savings and have all of their medical needs met.
