Before
Prevention
Stable support, mentoring, and healing-centered opportunities help young people build a different path early.
Support atevery stage.
Prevention, rehabilitation, reentry, and housing — four connected pillars that meet people wherever they are and carry them forward.
ALI operating model
Continuum
ALI meets people before, during, and after incarceration with programs that connect prevention, rehabilitation, reentry, and housing into one practical roadmap.
Support architecture
Programs are designed as connected stages, not isolated services.
During
Rehabilitation
Inside facilities and through correspondence, participants build practical plans, accountability, and readiness.
After
Reentry
Peer-led guidance connects people to community, employment preparation, wellness, and everyday stability.
Foundation
Housing
H.A.R.C. focuses on the housing stability people need before every other goal can hold.
Navigating Life
Coming home
No two reentry journeys are the same. We meet you where you are, help you get where you're going, and provide the structure, stability, and support people need to land on their feet.
Flagship reentry program
Navigating Life
We do not just open doors. We walk through them with you.
Navigating Life helps you shift from the survival mindset built inside to a growth mindset that sets you up for success on the outside. This peer-led program supports formerly incarcerated people through the critical first steps of reentry with mentorship, community, and practical resources to help you heal, stay stable, stay free, and come back better than ever.
